Everyone loves their new set of Nike clothing. In fact, Nike is found on the bodies of many members of sports teams. Why would such a successful and well-known business rely on the exploitation of child slave labor? It all started when CEO Philip Knight had a “brilliant idea”: set up shoe factories in Asia, pay workers pennies on the dollar and reap huge profits. Nike can easily afford to pay its workers a fair amount. We see that this is the antithesis of Nike's philosophy: do what is right. Nike sweatshop workers are denied their human rights, forced to work long, hard hours, and, worst of all, unable to support themselves or their families. It is ironic that an American company, which benefits from the rights granted to it by the American government, would suppress human rights in other countries. Nike should open its factories to inspection by local labor rights offices. Until it wants to, Nike will likely continue to deny human rights. Workers at a factory in Formosa, El Salvador, are frequently mistreated and put up with it because they need the money. They experience physical and verbal violence such as shouting, insults and even hitting and shoving. Toilet visits are supervised and limited. Workers have never heard of Nike's code of conduct. Workers could be fired on the spot if they were suspected of joining a union or taking a strike. Pregnancy tests are even offered to new workers. If they test positive, they are fired immediately. Nike should educate its workers so that they know their legal rights. Nike should not simply move its sweatshops out of complaining countries, as this could harm the country's economy. Long, arduous hours are notorious for Nike sweatshops. Nike employees are forced to work overtime without pay. Sick days and clinic visits are denied or deducted from the worker's salary. Workers at the PT Hardaya Aneka factory went on strike to demand the new Indonesian minimum wage ($2.26 to $2.46). However, the Indonesian government allows garment and shoe manufacturers with large workforces to apply for permission to delay paying the new minimum wage if a public audit proves they are unable to do so. Reluctantly, Nike agreed to pay but said it would not increase wages due to Indonesia's rising minimum wage..
