Urban Outfitters to End On-Call Shifts Nationwide

Urban Outfitters on Wednesday said that it will end on-call shifts for employees at all of its North America stores, three weeks after promising to discontinue the controversial practice at its New York locations. The move will be made across its portfolio of stores, which include Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People. Between these three nameplates, the company operates 518 stores in North America and employs 23,000 people.
