Swoosh goes "yeah"
Nike welcomes a report that highlights major sportswear companies exploiting workers while others like Puma said it was ,"initially skeptical of the findings on its sourcing activities and would investigate further."
Two things: Either Nike is saying finally bust on my competition so it's an even playing field or they completely know how to play the PR campaign until this ugly report "blows over."
You want to know where US jobs are going? Check out Indonesia where workers sometimes work 17 hour days 6 days a week. Geez, and we complain about our 9 hour days (that is, if we can find a job. And I don't want to hear any of that, "but that's their culture" or "they need the work and are willing to do it" crap. Both arguments don't hold any water with any thoughtful analysis.
