"Demonstrators Around the World Focus on Nike Worker Abuse"

The Campaign for Labor Rights, coordinator of the October 18th events, wanted to focus public attention on the athletic apparel maker's worker abuses at its manufacturing sites, especially in Asia.

In Vietnam, 13 and 14 year old girls are paid as little as 16 cents per hour to stitch shoes that sell in the U.S. for $180 a pair. In Indonesia, where Nike employs 40,000 workers, wages are in the $2 per day range.

In many workplaces, workers have reported abusive conditions, including firetrap factories and even beatings by supervisors.

The organizers of the day of protest say Nike has made some improvements since the spotlight of public criticism has been turned on the company over the past year, but it has spent more on public relations than on bettering conditions for workers.

The campaign noted that just two days before the October 18 demonstrations, Nike released what it said was a summary of a new study showing that things are really pretty good for its workers now. But the company said it wouldn't release the study itself - prepared by faculty members at a U.S. business school - until two weeks later.

By then, the campaign pointed out, it would be "old news" and go unreported.

The study was prepared by faculty members at the Amos Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. The same group prepared a similar study for Disney, which exonerated that company of under-paying its Haitian workforce. That study was challenged as being fatally flawed and biased.
