Nike and Adidas profit off sweatshop labor
INDONESIAN WORKERS who make shoes for multinational giants Nike and Adidas continue to face sweatshop conditions, according to a new report.
Investigators for the Australia-based Oxfam Community Aid Abroad found that conditions in shoe factories improved somewhat since the anti-sweatshop movement focused attention on the two multinationals’ operations. But "the measures taken fall well short of ensuring that workers are able to live with dignity," the report concludes.
Full-time wages in the factories are approximately $56 a month--about $2 a day--which leaves workers in extreme poverty. Oxfam researchers estimate that half of all workers with children are forced to send them to live with relatives.
The study also found that shoe factory managers regularly target unionists. Last year, one worker, Ngadinah Binti Abu Mawardi, was arrested and imprisoned for a month for organizing a strike at the PT Panarub factory that makes Adidas shoes.
Both companies claim to monitor conditions at factories that produce shoes for them. But this study proves that Nike and Adidas are still getting rich off sweatshop labor
yeah the world is a fucked up place, but cot damn I wanna look good.

Too true Whistla! Don't knock the guy cos he uses myspace. We're all tainted by the trappings of this world. At least it's good to know the reality...then you can make your own choice.
Anyway, Boomnoise's shoes win outright! Can you sort a pair out for me?

Nikes- I find the sole withstands the crushing of at least 30,000 malnourished infants' skulls before wear and tear begins to show.

Came in at No. 7, so quite early but room for improvement in the Activists Internet Dedication Scale otherwise known as AIDS.
I'll be taking bets on when this post occurs in the next similar thread.
