This video seem to suggest that people in poor countries are poor because they work in these factories. But at least some 5 years ago in Cambodia, workers in Nike factories were earning almost as much as doctors. Without education they were able to earn almost as much as a doctor that needs to attend school for many years. So try not to cry when you tell one of the workers that they cant work there anymore. That will make the unable to afford education for their children.

what does a black kid in the grass have anything to do with this ...your an idiotic tool for making this video

@grecoberg blame the countries? like its their fault they are not as well developed as first world countries. The companies are the ones who exploit the cheap labor and take jobs away from americans, which are the people who these companies make money off of.

@Warzoooooo Where are you getting your information from? 1 dollar a day keeps them alive barely. I think its the attitude towards people that dont have it as good as other people that is the real problem. Nike could afford to make their lives much better. They could pay them 5 dollars an hour. But they want a profit margin that is ridiculously high like over 85% The problem is with inflation and the government. We could employ people here at home and Nike would still make profit.

It's not like they're being forced at gunpoint to work in these places. Are they? If they choose to work at a shoe factory, maybe it's because the shoe factory is their best opportunity.

Hey nike, I want to go to tibet and buy slaves, is that a good idea? ''Just do it''. Thanks

You're trying to bring attention to a subject that needs examining but you failed miserably with this video. Newsflash: millions of companies offshore the production of goods. It's called cheap labor. Blame the countries, not the companies who utilize them.

@MrLecam21 yes some people forget to realize that working in "Seat Shops" is better than not working at all.. or worse...crime... Just my two cents

[Brain320]

Nice work, production costs in cents, product cost in store in hundreds of dollars, quality of products - sub-standard.

[MrLecam21]

euuuh anyway even if this was a nike production facility these people are not forced to work there. Nike does not force them with guns.

If you're trying to draw attention to less than ideal working conditions in 3rd-world countries, you could do a lot better than this video. Showing pictures of riots, demonstrations, factories and Nike logos proves nothing. Calling teenage workers "child labor" does nothing for actual child laborers (children as young as 4 were employed in factories during the industrial revolution). Teenagers SHOULD work jobs with limited hours when they're not in school. It's good for them!
