Abercrombie Workers Win Clothing Reimbursements

Abercrombie & Fitch's Appearance/Look Policy required staff to buy the company's clothes, according to workers who won a California lawsuit in 2009. Abercrombie denied wrongdoing and said it offered discounts to encourage, rather than require, employees to wear its clothing. After losing the case, the company agreed to stop forcing workers to buy its clothes and reimburse former employees for purchases made during the period covered by the lawsuit.
