Nike

       In class today we watched a video about the Nike sweatshops. It showed how the people working there were living. It was rough, they barely had any space and lived in a cement box. They aren't given furniture and are paid only $1.25. They are surrounded by toxic waste and get sick very easily. The man in the video traveled to Indonesia where the sweatshops are located and he decided to stay there and work and live in those conditions for a month. The people want to keep their jobs because they are proud of their work. All they want is better working conditions. The workers are constantly abused at work and treated like dogs. My impression on Nike is that they should treat their workers better, because without them their business wouldn't be very successful. I will continue to wear their products because the workers are proud of what products they have made. If Nike would treat their workers better, the workers would be happier to work and more shoes would get made.
