While we are aware, Gap Inc. is not a party to the<br \/>\ndispute and is not involved in negotiations in any way.  We have been<br \/>\nmonitoring the situation closely and have strongly urged both parties to<br \/>\nnegotiate in good faith and to come to a fair and timely resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Gap Inc. has a long-standing record as a socially responsible company,<br \/>\nand we set very high standards for ourselves as well as the vendors and<br \/>\nsuppliers we work with. This has been demonstrated time and again over<br \/>\nthe past decade, and is well-documented in our three social<br \/>\nresponsibility reports. As guided by our long-standing work in the area<br \/>\nof social responsibility, we know that any rash decisions related to<br \/>\nchanging contracts can have immediate and long-lasting impacts on the<br \/>\nsuppliers and their employees. For that reason, we feel it?s critical<br \/>\nthat we give Oak Harbor and the Teamsters an opportunity to resolve this<br \/>\nmatter.<\/p>\n<p>We thank you again for taking the time to contact us about this matter.<br \/>\nFor more information about our social responsibility efforts, please<br \/>\nvisit our website at gapinc.com.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Maureen Carter<br \/>\nGap Inc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of our readers forwarded this message on to me today.
