I have a long time friend that got a design internship with Ed Hardy Clothing Co. with promises that if he was a great artist, he was promised a full time position in the company. The internship was unpaid and worked designing Ed Hardy T-shirts, baby clothes, keychains, etc. My friend worked really hard for 3 months, unpaid, and all he got in return was Ed Hardy shot glasses and hats. Although he interned with Ed Hardy for free working 20 hours a week, he can testify that he was treated like trash and was often told his designs sucked and that his pieces of art will never make it to the stores! --- Until the day came that he found out one of his T-Shirt designs were being sold for $179.99 a piece at the Northridge mall. He immediately contacted Ed Hardy claiming that he deserves some kind of pay or at least, what he was promised, a full time position. Which one did he get? Any! My friend was immediately fired as an intern and was scammed. It is pretty shitty that a company like Ed Hardy hires unpaid interns, sells their designs for more than 100 bucks, and gives their interns nothing whatsoever in return.




People if you worked for Ed Hardy or any other company under the pretense of internship that was actually an unpaid job please pursue you legal rights and sue them. Internships have specific requirements please look them up. Just calling something an internship does not allow any company to have people work for them for free. Know your rights and sue the bastards. Boycott Ed Hardy!
