Watch Part 2 of Behind the Swoosh by clicking HERE.  Next, answer the following questions in your blog:

1.  How much do Nike workers make in Indonesia?  How many hours a day do they work? One would think Sweatshops were in Third World countries, but they are also in the backyards of the U.S. and Canada. U.S. Firms and their subcontractors are to blame for many of the Sweatshops especially in the garment industry. What this does is take away jobs from the U.S. and Canada. Example: If you are in the garment industry it is cheaper to have the clothes made in places like China among other countries for extremely poor wages and miserable working conditions. The Firms charge the U.S. or Canadian consumer high prices and make billions of dollars off the the mistreatment of sweatshop workers.

Sweatshops are characterized as places of employment that have low pay, poor working conditions and long hours and often times abusive bosses. Sweatshops are in most countries, but you only hear about a very few. Some of the countries are.

2.  What is life like for Indonesian Nike workers at home? Twelve years ago this month I got involved in the fight to end Nike's sweatshop abuses. Twelve years is one third of my life. It's somewhat surreal when I think of it like that.

3.  Why won’t Nike talk to Jim or Leslie or let them visit the shoe factory? he consistently growing textile industry often negatively impacts the environment. Because Nike is a large participant in this manufacturing, many of their processes negatively contribute to the environment. One way the expanding textile industry affects the environment is by increasing its water deficit, climate change, pollution, and fossil fuel and raw material consumption. In addition to this, today's electronic textile plants spend significant amounts of energy, while also producing a throw-away mindset due to trends founded upon fast fashion and cheap clothing.[34]

You:Dominican Republic

You:  What is your planet like?
