Kenya: Major U.S. Delivery Firm to Buy Uniforms - All Africa

It was jubilation at the ongoing Agoa forum in Nairobi Tuesday following news that a leading US package delivery firm would start buying staff uniform from Kenya.

Delegates attending the forum's session on ways to rejuvenate the supply chain in cotton textile and apparel, said that the entry of United Parcel Service would increase demand and create more jobs in the sector.

Are they actually going to use cotton? Kudos to UPS for maybe listening to our concerns.

I just hope they use american inches. I hate having to order 1.5 to 2 inches bigger than I need

 

[tourists24]

Id be happy if they

a: atually fit
b: didnt rip in the seams every other week
c: stayed brown and not turn green

What? No concern for "union made" and "made in America"?

 

[wannabeups]

They can't be any worse than the uniform provider we have now.

Great,, we have 9.4 % Americans out of work,and we will give more business over seas!!! That should make the people drawing off of United Way charities very happy !!!

 

[bbsam]

Possibly too excellent a question since there still is no answer.

Obama has kinfolk over there, you know. Maybe his step brother can get a job sewing browns together. We have to spread the wealth, as patriotic Americans.

 

[Covemastah]

Good point Scratch.....sorry I missed that clip on CNN !!

At the 3 Amigo Meeting in Mexico yesterday. Both Mexico and Canada complained about the "Buy American" Policy.

So, whats up with that ?
I guess Kenya is Obamas homeland... so thats Buy America for him.
I'm sure he's thrilled.

Obama's birth place gets a contract. I smell some kind of conspiracy.
