Since Before I Was Born
Anyone in the neighborhood of Levi’s Plaza yesterday might have sensed a certain buzz in the air.
It could’ve been the beautiful spring-like weather after so much winter rain. Or it could’ve been the fact that it was the opening day of baseball season.
More likely, though, folks at Levi Strauss & Co. headquarters were buzzing as a result of a special visitor: The San Francisco Giants’ World Series Trophy.

Why We Remember the Triangle Factory Fire
If you have a good job – decent hours, safe working conditions, health benefits – it’s easy to take it for granted. But today might be a good day to give it some thought and recall when worker rights weren’t as common as they are today.
Why today?

Fire Safety and Levi Strauss & Co.
In her thoughtful post today, Terrie Norris reminded us of the Triangle Factory Fire and why that tragedy 100 years ago is so important to remember.
As president-elect of the American Society of Safety Engineers, Terrie understands the importance of a safe workplace -- and the price paid when companies place profits above the safety of workers.

Levi's® Ex-Girlfriend Jeans: Are They for You?
The Ex-Girlfriend jeans have caught plenty of attention since Levi’s® launched them a few weeks back. Ellen, Stephen Colbert and plenty of bloggers have had their say.
The latest review comes from the folks at ABC’s Good Morning America. The, ahem, bottom line? You gotta be confident to wear ‘em — and they’re not for everyone.
See for yourself...

Safe Water for All
Today is World Water Day. You may give it only a passing thought. Not Kebedech Hagos, though. For her, it’s a reminder of how far she’s come.
Until the Water.org water project, which resulted in a well in her Ethiopian village, Kebedech would walk miles to a river to fetch and carry—on her back—the five gallons of contaminated water that would barely sustain her family’s needs for the day.

Gone Fishing...on Dockers®
“Fishing’s a whole lot more fun when you catch fish.”
Truer words have never been spoken.
That quote comes from Robert Felle, pictured above, the first winner of a Dockers® Man Grant. Robert will use his $2,000 in prize money to take his father and his two sons on a summer fishing trip in Canada.
Why Canada?
