Behind the Swoosh:Nike

In Globaloria we watched a YouTube video about Nike sweatshops in Indonesia. A man named Jim Keady was going to work as head soccer coach at St. Andrews Catholic School in New Jersey home to the best soccer team in the world and Nike wanted to sponsor them. Keady started to do research and found sweatshops in Indonesia where they made $1.25 a day. Keady went to live as one of the workers for a couple of months and almost starved to death and lived in basically slave quarters and they had horrible work conditions. On his way back to the states he went to Nike campus and found Phil Knight at a eating with a friend. Keady asks Knight all these questions and he just ignores him. Keady now goes to high school schools and inform students about the working conditions in Indonesia.

My opinion is that if they want to work let them work I know its messed up they can still do things about it but if they don't want our help then why give it? Its as simple as that. I will still buy Nike Products because if we don't buy then their not even going to get paid and you guys wouldn't like to see that either.
