Nike Behind the Swoosh Part 2

Today in class, Mr.Schick pulled up a website he found about Nike and their sweatshop problem. The website kind of connects with the video Behind the Swoosh we watched the previous class. According to the website, Nike has resolved its problem with sweatshops. They increase paying workers from just over a dollar a day to 3.7 a day. Since they have no vacation, they make an overall $962 a year. . That's pathetic. One can make more money working at Mcdonald's which also probably has better working conditions. With Nike doing this, the rich (high up Nike workers like CEO) get richer and the poor get poorer since they save 50000 a day by doing this. So yes Nike did make help the Indonesians a little bit but still they have to fight for their lives daily.
