Why do Nike workers work in Asia?

They work in Asia in sweatshops where it costs the company a pittance to pay

employees compared to manufacturing them in the United States. A worker

once stated that it would take her a whole month's salary to pay for one pair

of Nike shoes. She also stated that the management would beat her in the face

with a shoe if they found her work to be unsatisfactory. Nike used to be my

favorite brand, but after hearing the above on a 60 Minutes tv show - I no

longer buy Nike in protest of sweatshop conditions. Shame on Nike.

When workers organized and wages began to rise Nike moved production to countries with authoritarian leaders who outlaw independent labor unions. By 1992, Nike had eliminated nearly all of their U.S. work force in favor of low-wage Asian producers.
