Nice to be on the list for the second year in a row.

Does that include the sweatshops in Vietnam?
Not another mis-informed liberal!
I didn't see Boinkin' Sheep.com anywhere on that list T.
Well if they've gotten better, good for them, but I wonder where the $5 a day including overtime would rank in the survey.

Interesting that Microsoft is on the list but not Apple?
Number 1: We don't own the factories you're referring to. We contract the work to them.
Number 2: If it's so bad, why are there literally thousands of people lined up to try and get jobs when they open?
Nice cop out. It's not like Nike never knew what was going on there. They were certainly able have them make changes once Nike recieved protests, didn't they?Number 1: We don't own the factories you're referring to.

You're not making sense now. Once protests began we certainly pressured the factories into making changes for the workers' benefit. Isn't that a good thing?
Yes, they are desperately poor. That is why we source the manufacturing there. Cheaper labor. We live in a global economy and you strive to keep costs low wherever you can. You should realize that the cost of living in these 3rd world countries is much different than it is here in the USA as well. The people that work at the factories are able to save money beyond what they require to live on from these jobs. There lives are becoming better because of it.
How nice of you. How long did that take? Are you saying you wouldn't have changed anything had someone not spoken up?Once protests beganGood, maybe they can buy a bicycle in a couple of years. Or a pair of Nike's in a decade. They're definitely not able to join a labor union to improve their lot. Why is that?The people that work at the factories are able to save money beyond what they require to live on from these jobs.
I've certainly worked in industries that exploit third world labor. I simply don't try to make it seem better than it is.
We might not have changed anything. Who knows? Costs would certainly be lower.
Many of the workers don't join labor unions there because their governments usually will not allow it. You still don't seem to grasp that their lives are becoming better and not worse by sourcing this manufacturing in their countries. I suppose you would rather that they starve to death. I'm not trying to make it sound better than it is. I don't believe you understand global economics.
I understand global economics and the importance of exploiting cheap foreign labor just fine.How convenient you guys just happened to have stuff made there.Many of the workers don't join labor unions there because their governments usually will not allow it.
Please explain how they are being exploited if they are making more money than they ever had before.

You make it sound great. You should work in the sewing rooms.
If I lived there and was trying to scratch a living out of growing rice patties in my back yard I would love to work in the sewing rooms. If you understand global economics why don't you act like it?
You're very comfortable with your job and everything your company has ever done or allowed to happen, so don't "sweat" it dude.
Whatever dude. We've made mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes. I think we've done far more good than bad though. Obviously you don't have to agree. I just hope you research issues so that you thoroughly understand them before arriving at conclusions.
My conclusion is that Nike has made mistakes. I'm glad you agree.
I don't know if they've done more good than bad. We haven't seen the end result of globalization.
Nike isn't the impetus behind globalization. It's more like the other way around. Large corporations cannot compete unless they follow suit.
Oh certainly, it wasn't Nike's idea. I'm just disturbed by many of the effects of globalization of which Nike is a high-profile part.
Yeah, my other question is why do the shoes run so small?
I can’t imagine working in a place this nice...tlong must be in “hog-heaven”...I was pretty stoked that we got a new vending machine in at my work...
69. Nike
What makes it so great?
The Oregon campus is a sporting paradise, with tennis courts, indoor and outdoor tracks, soccer fields, running trails, two sports centers, and an 11-lane pool used for swimming, scuba, and kayaking lessons...
Has nondiscrimination policy that includes sexual orientation? (Yes) You go tlong....
Since Star Bucks is on that list...I wonder how many working Dads & Moms are able to pay their mortgages & their children’s orthodontist bills, working as baristas.....
