Nike blog

In class today we talked about how the sweatshops in Indonesia for Nike products is pretty much a living hell. The factory workers only get paid 1.25$ which is legal in Indonesia where they don't have any minimum wage laws. This amount of money can barely feed you throughout the day, and get you necessary supplies. We watched a video on where a college soccer coach had revolted against signing a three million dollar deal with Nike. Nike were going to sponsor their soccer team with Nike products. The man (Jim) did research on Nike and found out about the sweatshops all over the world, particularly in Indonesia. He was then determined to go to Indonesia and live on 1.25 a day and see what it was like. He hated it, and it was a horrible experience living on that much wage. He then tried to speak up about it to the Nike owner and he was ignored. This process of trying to make the sweatshops known and ending the low wages is still going on today.
