Just as I suspected…

Nike recently released a report that showed some of the problems I have discussed previously.  In preparation for the next olympics in China, Nike checked into its Chinese factories and how well they were really doing.  It seems they found quite a few problems that are persisting, including falsification of documents and many cases of underage workers.  In fact, there were 167 cases of underage workers who were now of age, and two cases of workers who were currently underage.  This report was released publicly to show that they recognize the problem and that they are still doing whatever they can to fix it.  I am pretty impressed at their honesty, but I would still like to know how they are going to put an end to this problem.  On another subject, Adidas CEO Herbert Hainer recently spoke in an interview about competing with Nike and running into the same problems with factories in other countries.  Adidas, like Nike, has a plan for eliminating these labor abuses in its factories and knows that in its quest to compete with Nike they must try to eliminate these problems as well.
