Is Nike helpless or is Nike responsible

| Nike sweatshop in Taiwan |
Nike one of the worlds top athletic apparel manufactures is
connected with sweatshops labor in both Taiwan and Indonesia. 10 years ago,
Nike made a pledge to stop the use of sweatshops to manufactures their
products. This article reveals that 10,000 female workers at a Taiwan factory
for Nike were paid 50c an hour. This pay
can only cover a person’s food and shelter. In Jakarta, Indonesia the Nike
Converse contractors abuse their workers. The employees are slapped in the
face, called names such as “dogs and “pigs” and have shoes thrown at them. I do
not believe that the conditions at the Nike sweatshop are right. I am surprised
that this kind of abuse and slavery still exist today. “How can this be “?
