Social media boost! Nike garment workers were in town last month to confront the corporation about low wages and conditions in the supply chain. Workers made this video before they left town! Can we get 5 Portland-area folks to share it?
Why is Nike hiding from the garment workers who make their apparel for as little as $1 per hour?
