Dear Mr. Weinstein,
I write to express the concern of Brandworkers International regarding the fate of CompUSA employees as you oversee the liquidation of the company. Brandworkers is a non-profit organization with the mission of protecting and advancing the rights of retail and food employees.
Since Gordon Brothers Group LLC purchased the national electronics retailer from Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim Helu, you have given public assurances to several CompUSA stakeholders. Specifically, you have promised proper treatment for landlords, creditors, and consumers in the CompUSA liquidation process. You have not however made any public assurances of fair treatment for the thousands of CompUSA workers being laid off.
