Description: Two large shareholders of GIldan Activewear have come to the defence of the company’s former CEO and are seeking to have him reinstated. Glenn Chamandy was both a founder of Gildan and the CEO until earlier in December, when, he says, he was let go without cause. The two shareholders – Browning West LP and Turtle Creek Asset Management Inc – are concerned about the potential impact of the firing on the company’s future growth.
