The Nikewatch Campaign

Nike makes massive profits - $A965 million last fiscal year alone. So why do workers making Nike shoes in Asia get less than 40 cents an hour? Why do they have to work up to 70 hours a week just to feed their kids?

And why won't Nike sign the Homeworkers Code, to protect the rights of Australian clothing workers?

The 0lympics represented a unique opportunity to challenge Nike to lift its game. A large volume of attention was generated by campaign activities staged during the Olympics.
