Abercrombie & Fitch

Class action certification has been granted to a lawsuit filed against Abercrombie & Fitch on behalf of current and former employees. The suit alleges that the company's unwritten, but strictly enforced, dress code violates a Washington law that states employers cannot require employees to buy elaborate or expensive uniforms without compensation. The suit claims that the company required the plaintiffs to purchase and wear the outfits that were being promoted at that time. Additionally, the employees were prohibited from wearing items that had been marked for sale.
