Nearly 400,000 People Call On Macy’s To Dump Donald Trump



A grassroots campaign for Macy’s to end their association with Donald Trump has caught fire. Nearly 400,000 people have added their name to a petition on Signon.org for Macy’s, which exclusively sells Trump’s clothing line and fragrance, to dump the controversial businessman.

Trump gained prominence during the 2012 election for relentlessly promoting the discredited conspiracy theory that Obama was not born in the United States. He vocally maintains that Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery.

On Tuesday, Trump tweeted that the election results were “a travesty, a total sham, a disgusting injustice” and “urged Americans to march on Washington.” He claims global warming is “a concept created by and for the Chinese to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” Trump also promotes dangerous conspiracy theories about vaccines.

Macy’s touts themselves as a “socially responsible” company. Nevertheless, they have continued to embrace their relationship with Trump and will prominently feature him in its holiday Television ads.

My SO works as an assistant manager at BK. They treat their employees like shit. They changed it so no matter how long you've worked there you can only ever get 10 days vacation (you used to get like 5 days added for every x-amount of years worked), they stop giving bonuses and make salary managers work extra hours to pay for new equipment company wide, and are constantly making salary workers come in 6 or 7 days a week for 12-14 hours a day if they go over in other costs. Not to mention the fact that any sick day must be repaid, so if you're out for three days you have to sacrifice your next three days off and work a couple weeks straight.
