BY NEW ALLEGATIONS ON WORKING CONDITIONS
Demand
a living wage for sportswear workers. Send a message

Did
you know that a worker at a Chinese factory producing
for one of Nike's key suppliers would have to
work 4,500 years at their current wage to earn
as much as Nike CEO Mark Parker did in 2006?
Or that an Indian football stitcher would have
to sew over 12 million balls/year to earn as much
as adidas CEO Herbert Heiner did in 2007 (that's
100 balls per minute for a 48 hour work week)?

April 9,
2008Call on
adidas to Improve its Performance in Indonesia,
Re-Employ Mistreated Workers
adidas
must take action to address systemic labour violations
in Indonesia. It can begin by making amends for
the illegal and unfair treatment of workers at
PT Spotec and PT Dong Joe who were left with nothing
when the factories abruptly closed.
The In November 2006, 10,500 workers at PT Dong
Joe and PT Spotec suddenly found themselves out
of a job when the factories abruptly closed. To
make matters worse, workers did not receive their
severance and other entitlements for many months,
leaving them with nothing. Full entitlements have
still not been paid to all workers.
