Are 9 Sexual Harassment Cases And A Naked Dancing Video Cause For Firing? Maybe Not

When AOL Jobs asked me to write a column commenting about Dov Charney's firing from American Apparel, my first reaction was to roll my eyes. Of course it was "for cause," I thought. The founder of the iconic clothing company has been hit with nine sexual harassment charges (that we know of). And then there's the #NSFW naked dancing video showing him dancing with full flappage in front of female employees. It seemed obvious to me that his firing would be considered to be "for cause" under his contract. 
But was it? Maybe not.  
Read my latest column, Are 9 Sexual Harassment Cases And A Naked Dancing Video Cause For Firing? Maybe Not to find out why.
