Watching the Behind the Swoosh video today in class was an
eye opener for me. Not only did it make me feel lucky to have minimum wage laws
here in America but it also made me think about how wrong manual labor is. The people
that work for Nike in Indonesia still only make a dollar twenty-five an hour,
and then would get paid a dollar forty for their fourth over time hour. Their living
conditions are barley even considered conditions. When Jim and Leslie went to Indonesia
and lived under their conditions, with only a dollar twenty-five to spend, they
both soon realized that they needed to do something about it. When they both
got back to the US, they tried to get in contact with Nike but were turned down
each time. They made a website to try and help the people back in Indonesia,
but it got hacked and now there is a possible virus if you go through to it. But
on a semi-brighter note, they created a new website that is safe to open and
you can learn more about the true process of Nike.
