For Research (p.116 #2)

http://www.toolness.com/nike/ it is really messed up, but i think it is funny,
There is a Nike sweatshop in Oregon. They cannot access their health benifits. They make 60 to 100 percent Nike apparel. Workers make about 40$ a week, with no overtime. EVERYONE buys Nike one point in their lives, I promise you. Nike is a shoe company  that also sells atheletic clothing. the Nike company has set guidelines and rules to take care of their workers. The Workers’ Rights Board is trying to meet with the CEOs of nike soon to bring up the issues of their mistreatment of employees.
