Hugo Boss Workers Fight to Save their Jobs

Hugo Boss made more than $140 million in profits in the first nine months of 2009, according to the company's third-quarter report. The company paid shareholders more than $135 million in dividends last year, on top of a huge dividend of $637 million in 2008.

The amount Hugo Boss says it is trying to save by closing its U.S. suit manufacturing plant is only a few million dollars... a drop in the Hugo Boss bucket.
