Behind the Swoosh

The behind the swoosh video was all about how Nike products exploits workers in 30 different countries because they can pay them low wages with no benefits to make the products. They make the products they sell across the world are made by those who barely make enough money to support their families. The soccer coach from St. Johns University along with an old classmate went to the sweatshop in Indonesia to show the world how Nike is treating the workers. They lived among the people on their wages for one month to experience what they go through. They got very sick and very tired, coming to the conclusion that Nike needs to give the employers higher wages so they can better support themselves and their families. The average Indonesian worker makes $1.10 a day working for Nike Products. That is not much to go off of. When the two people from St. Johns came back from Indonesia to meet up with Nike CEO Phil Knights to talk about what can be done, they were treated rudely by many office people, as well as Phil Knights. Knights didn't want to talk to either of them at all and would not answer any questions in regards to the workers in Indonesia. This is one of many examples of big corperations
