Nike

Today in class, we went into further detail about the Nike video. We talked about how Nike's net worth is so much, 86.2 billion to be exact, that they should at least pay the Indonesian workers a little more so they can live with more than a 9x9 cement house, and one or two items a day. We also said that if Nike can't pay their factory workers a decent amount, they should pay for school so the children can get an education and maybe find a better job than working in a sweatshop. I found out that Nike is 86 times bigger than Under Armor which amazes me because I think they are both pretty popular. Mr. Schick told us about how Walmart locks their workers inside so they can't take breaks, and I think that is ridiculous because what if there is an emergency? If there is a fire, like the Triangle building, then all the workers would most likely die, and it would be Walmart's fault. It amazes me how stupid some people can be.
