Abracadabra Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 yes, because it looks like such a horrible environment to work in. i mean, all the employees are dressed in rags and all look malnourished :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some1 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I am def not buying anymore nikes now that I know that 6 and 7 year old kids were not working the machines or sewing by hand. I liked the thought that young chinese boys and especially girls were losing arms and legs being stolen from their families to make my kicks. It made Nikes feel like they were exotic... Now...they are just like k swiss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabloid- Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Those are promotional photos. As a person who works with Asian factories I can almost garuantee you that there are 13 year old kids working in any of the " Nike factory networks", and even younger kids working at the tanneries that cut and dye their split leather.I guess that's better than being a prostitute or a farmer. A company like NIKE probably has very strict factory compliance. No one wants bad press. As far as salaries, those sewers are probably making $8 US a day + room and board ( a cot, some rice and vegetables ) , and that's a hi estimate. That's why I don't complain too much when the glue on the toe of my airmax's dissolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikes just the only one who catches any heat not just shoe companies. NIKE gets the heat because NIKE was one of the first to go directly to S.E. ASIA. I don't think NIKE ever made shoes in the USA. The idea of unrestricted free trade is interesting. Especially because the consumer doesn't really see the savings. All this aside, I'm wearing custom AF2's while sitting infront of the computer payed for by a HK factory that I'm currently designing for. GO GLOBAL or GO HOME!!! Cheap labor is the new black!

iloveboxcars Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I don't recall anyone in this thread saying "nike is the only people that have outsourced labor" so I'm not exactly sure whats going on in Hayabusa's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delonemonkey Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 this just makes me think that buying a pair of air force ones that costs more than like 200 dollars just cuz they have some fruity shiny colors on them is really dumb.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fermentor666 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 it's not slavery when you get room and board, as well as a paycheque You make it sound like it's a walk in the park. Room and board for those factories are rooms about the size of a closet with bunkbeds, group showers/toilets, etc etc. Pay is less than half a US dollar, work weeks are generally at least 6 days a week and more hours than we're used to putting in. The major difference between this and slave labor is that these people aren't forced into it, they pick it because they'll make more money doing that than growing rice. It's more of a matter of the corporation grossly taking advantage of the situation than it is slave labour. These photos aren't exactly undercover, they're well-produced and planned and it's one tiny little room in a factory. They don't make all the Nike's in that one little factory. I wear New Balance shoes, they're made in Boston and they cost half the price of a pair of Nike's and they last twice as long. I'm not sure if you're defending Nike but I can't see your justification for doing that, if you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
