Nike .

Nike factories

- In Indonesia , people only make 1.25 dollars a day .
- They work for about 14 hours a day , maybe even more , to get as much money as possible for their families .
- Nike leaves shoe bottoms in a big pile where children play and set the shoe bottoms on fire , letting out cancerous fumes .
- The CEO of Nike could care less about what is going on in the factories and that's just really mean !
- The workers just want an honest living .
- The CEO of Nike is convinced that Americans don't want to make shoes and that's why he has it in Indonesia .
- He is not willing or wants to go over to the factories and see how its like to work there because he knows what everyone has been telling him about it being horrid is true .
- Workers are made to sign a contract in a language they don't understand .
- They take away their passports .
- To leave they have to pay off their debt and buy back passports .
- They are living in forced labor .
- The workers at the Nike factory use to live in very poor conditions , but now they have moved from that , to living in apartments .
