Back in early 1990's in response to global criticism regarding usage of 'child labor' and 'sweatshops, Nike and Adidas, who both use same Asian manufacturing plants (China, Vietnam, and Indonesia), introduced a code of conduct for the factories in the mid 90's that oversaw OT limits, air quality, fire safety, and minimum wage. Environmental hazards and health have been added to the code.

Nike reportledly spends $10M annually enforcing compliance for labor and safety in these factories and has audited 600 of them since 2002. They have also asked local governments and factories themselves to self comply with these regulations.

Having read all this on several sites in newspaper articles, I would think the workers now get to take bathroom breaks whereas they had no breaks prior to the 'code of conduct'.
