Suit Makers May Lose Their Shirts!

Brave organizers handed out leaflets in San Francisco close to where David Edwab, a Board member of "Men's Wearhouse," has an office.
The flyer handed out reads as follows:
"Mr. Edwab: Save these workers from unemployment!!
David Edwab, Senior Advisor with Bear Stearns Merchant Bank and Board member of Men's Wearhouse, understands what it takes to make an apparel company successful.
By restructuring businesses with Bear Sterns, he has helped companies that had previously been failing become profitable again.
Mr. Edwab's business sense is probably so keen that he can tell when a company NEEDS to take major steps such as mass lay-offs, and when it DOESN'T.
Last year Men's Wearhouse had an income of $147 million dollars, yet its CEO, George Zimmer has decided to shut down a suit manufacturing plant that employs 540 North American union workers because cheaper labor can be found overseas. We are here today to ask Mr. Edwab: DOES MEN'S WEARHOUSE REALLY NEED TO CLOSE THIS PLANT TO SURVIVE? SOMETHING DOESN'T ADD UP!
MR. EDWAB - USE YOUR POWER AS A DIRECTOR OF MEN'S WEARHOUSE TO STOP THIS PLANT CLOSURE.
IT WILL DEVASTATE HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES.
