Still Waiting for Nike to Do It
Read Global Exchange's report about how Nike remains unwilling to tackle the underlying causes of sweatshop abuses.
Nike is one of the largest, most popular, and most profitable shoe and clothing companies in the world. But the reality for many workers overseas making Nike shoes and clothing is far less rosy. Workers are paid wages insufficient to meet their basic needs, are not allowed to organize independent unions, and often face health and safety hazards.

We hope that by putting pressure on Nike, the industry leader, other shoe companies will follow suit and make much-needed improvements. In just a few years, public pressure has reaped a measure of success by forcing Nike and other shoe corporations to promise to make changes. Still, a great many improvements are needed and the anti-sweatshop movement still must strive to give workers a voice.
