Tell Nike to Not Hide Abuses at Its Factories

Mark Parker, Chief Executive Officer, Nike Inc.

Nike is trying to hide the mistreatment of its workers by not allowing independent labor rights monitors to inspect the factories where its shoes and other products are made to make sure workers aren’t being paid poverty wages or exposed to dangerous conditions on the job. Instead, it is only allowing monitors it hires to do inspections.

It’s hard to trust Nike when it has a long history of using sweatshop labor.

Sign the petition now to tell Nike to allow independent monitors into its factories around the world to make sure the rights of working people aren’t being violated.

Dear Mr. Parker,

We are concerned that Nike is no longer allowing the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) to have access to, or inspect any of its’ factories. This decision is not only in violation of our college and University codes of conduct, but will have devastating effects for the workers who manufacture your apparel all over the world.

We know Nike has a long track record of labor violations and, therefore Nike cannot be trusted to voluntarily monitor itself with any credibility. Without WRC inspections, we have no way of confirming that Nike apparel is being manufactured under conditions where workers’ basic rights are respected.

We are therefore asking that that Nike immediately comply with our codes of conduct by allowing the WRC to inspect its factories.

Nike, just do the right thing.
