Helllo,
Today we learned that after the whole thing with sweatshops in Indonesia, Nike increased the people's pay by $1.25 to $3.70. I think that this is at least a start, but it's still not a lot. Also the factories are also in bad condition. The pay increase was a good start, but the minimum wage for that area is $4. Nike has hired government security to force people on taking the $.30 decrease and working for Nike. This is absolutely outrageous. It may be better that they increased pay, but they are literally forcing people in Indonesia and other countries to work there. If they don't like it then they are told to find another place to work, which there practically isn't, and they are not welcome to work there again. If you ask me this is not fair at all. After learning more about that we went back into our groups to work on our powerpoint. I hope that in the future Nike pays at least minimum wage and doesn't force people to work for them.
