Workers filing suit against the Gap also named The Limited, Abercrombie's parent company, in their allegations.
PSLM member Aron R. Fischer '99-'00.addressed the protestors outside of the store. Before speaking, he removed his Hawaiian shirt.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do," he told the laughing crowd.
As he described Abercrombie's labor practices, protestors hissed and booed.
The crowd then entered the store but left shortly thereafter at the request of store clerks.
Abercrombie spokesperson Angela S. Benz said the company does not allow demonstrations inside its stores.
She said Abercrombie has a "prohibition against any form of
indentured or involuntary labor," but she refused to say whether the company prohibited employees from working in sweatshop conditions.
