Introduction:
I completely disagree with this statement. In my opinion NIKE should be responsible for exploiting cheap labor for the profit they gain by moving their production lineup into the Indonesia, Vietnam, and China where they are not provided enough facilities the workers get in the developed countries. This is a typical case of SWEATSHOPS and large manufacturing and production companies tend to follow this in order gain the profit.
Sweatshops have the following characteristics:

Greed allowed them to do anything that would make them profitable. Subcontractor bosses work together with the local factions to impose their rules and have them punish the workers by frightening; having their houses raided and even killed for not following their companies rules.
