You know, Nike isn't the only one guilty of this. Many other clothing manufacturer operate sweat shops too, including Reebok, Adidas, Esprit, etc.
The thing is, this is not slavery. The workers themselves choose to work there after all. The conditions are appalling, but the workers can work off the job if they want to right?
capitalism and job opportunities are the issues here. who can deny the existance of this two? it is blended together.
