We got a great response from passers by, many Nike workers and the press, even if the specially hired Nike security guards weren't so friendly.
Nike use factories in countries like Indonesia, China, Vietnam and Bangladesh, anywhere wages are low and unions weak. Conditions in their factories are often unbearably harsh. They refuse to insist that the workers making their garments be free to organise independent unions and fight for decent conditions. Meanwhile,
Nike Boss Philip Knight rakes in millions of dollars every year and lives in conditions a million miles away from the slum accomodation and forced overtime in cramped sweatshops that his workers face.

This isn't the end of our campaign against Nike, we'll be back. If you want copies of our petition against Nike or our postcards you can send them, get in touch.
