Sukabumi, Indonesia -- Workers making Converse sneakers in Indonesia say supervisors throw shoes at them,nike soccer cleats mercurial Discount Soccer Cleats, slap them in the face and call them dogs and pigs. Nike, the brand's owner, admits that such abuse has occurred among the contractors that make its hip high-tops but claims there was little it could do to stop it. Dozens of workers say,Woolrich Jacket online shop, and a document released by Nike shows, that the footwear and athletic apparel giant has far to go to meet the standards it set for itself a decade ago to end its reliance on sweatshop labor. That does not appear to explain abuses that workers allege at the Pou Chen Group factory in Sukabumi, about 60 miles from Jakarta - it didn't start making Converse products until four years after Nike bought Converse. One worker there said she was kicked by a supervisor last year after making a mistake while cutting rubber for soles. "We're powerless," said the woman,http://cheapnikesoccercleatsmercurial.webmium.com/, who like several others spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals. "Our only choice is to stay and suffer, or speak out and be fired." The 10,000 mostly female workers at the Taiwanese-operated Pou Chen plant make around 50 cents an hour. That's enough, for food and bunkhouse-type lodging, but little else. Some workers in March and April described being hit or scratched in the arm. Others said they were fired after filing complaints. "They throw shoes and other things at us" said a 23-year-old woman in the embroidery division. "They growl and slap us when they get angry." , 30,best soccer cleats, said she was fired in 2009 for taking sick leave,デュベティカアウトレット, even though she produced a doctor's note. "It was a horrible job,duvetica jackets canada online outlet duvetica down jackets men sale," she said. "Our bosses pointed their feet at us, calling us names like dog, pig or monkey." All are major insults to Muslims. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation. At the PT Amara Footwear factory located just outside Jakarta, where another Taiwanese contractor makes Converse shoes,cheap soccer cleats outlet, a supervisor ordered six female workers to stand in the blazing sun after they failed to meet their target of completing 60 dozen pairs of shoes on time. The company's own inquiries also found workers at the two factories were subjected to "serious and egregious" physical and verbal abuse, including the punishment of forcing workers to stand in the sun, said ,discount 2013 roger vivier outlet roger vivier online shopping, a Nike executive who oversees the company's efforts to improve working conditions. Nike, which came under heavy criticism a decade ago for its use of foreign sweatshops and child labor, has taken steps since then to improve conditions at its 1,000 overseas factories. But the progress it has made at factories producing gear with its premier "swoosh" logo is not fully reflected in those making Converse products. An internal Nike report about the abuse shows that nearly two-thirds of 168 factories making Converse products worldwide fail to meet Nike's own standards for contract manufacturers,Woolrich Outlet Woolrich Parka Woolrich Arctic Parka Woolrich Jacket online shop. 相关的主题文章： http://cttwinc.com/social/index.php?p=blogs/viewstory/842953 http://www.allgz.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2580958 http://198.57.236.178/~savethem/anna-wintour-in-nude-manolo-blahnik-shoes/ http://www.shenhua3g.com/bbs/read.php?tid=907122 http://newamericaenergycorp.com/gallery#comment-36479 http://www.clan-matrix.com/index.php?site=forum_topic&topic=null http://fashiononline.zentipede.dk/2013/09/03/increasing-numbers-of-people-placed-on-reliable-basketball-jerseys-spun5/ http://www.ezreadmag.com/?p=178541 http://2tawk.com/blogs/posts/fangcpxd http://www.wolvesanimeclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=189464 |
