To Chairman Philip H. Knight: We are proposing to Philip H. Knight and the board of directors of Nike. As concerned citizens, students, and consumers of the city of Los Angeles we feel the necessity of fairness in the labor force especially overseas. Nike has been identified as one of the many big corporations guilty of Labor abuse. Labor abuse is a growing factor overseas and it is only getting worse. A weak economy should not be an excuse for inhumane treatment of employees in sweatshops. The unfair wages for living conditions combined with the physical abuse the employees undergo is an underlying factor for the unethical fallacies American corporations are viewed as today. As human rights advocates, we feel it is our responsibility to represent America the great and uncover the truth behind shady corporations and their working environments. Nike has been a role model to top clothing brands nationwide; this means ethical diversity plays a great role for future employers and the willingness to act responsibly for the people offering their services. We hope this proposal will shine light on the key issues and inspire you to make a difference. Just do it!
Within this report we will identify:
* Issue Identification in Sweatshops……… 2-3 * Possible solutions to issue……………….10 * Benefits of the solution………………….10 * Likely impacts and outcomes……………10
