Today in class we reviewed and talked
about the Nike hate video yesterday. This video was very shocking and
informative at the same time. I took a lot away from the video in class but
what I found is that people will forget about this later on in the year. It is truly
a shame what the Nike executives do to the very poor Indonesian workers. For
example the poor as it is workers are paid 4.00 dollars a day, not an hour, a
day and the Nike executives want them to cut their pay down to 3.70 a day. When
you count all the workers in Indonesia the 30 cent pay cut is only saving this multi-billion
dollar company 50,000 dollars. Meanwhile plenty of wealthy endorsers are making
millions in endorsement money alone. But you don’t see Nike cutting their
contracts down instead it’s the workers that live in poverty. So at the end of
the day you have to ask yourself, is it worth it?
