Nike Sweatshops

yes, One of the most famous shoe companies USES SWEATSHOPS! you can check out our video about Nike in the "Videos" section (one of the videos states they get paid 0.07 cents PER SHOE!). They use sweatshops and they refuse to stop. Jobs are needed in the U.S, where they could set up factories and give people jobs. Just a little more factories in the U.S, and less in other countries. There is a really cool group of people trying to stop Nike sweatshops, Called Team Sweat. Link below. They try to stop Nike's sweatshops, and they even have a youtube channel with lots of videos you should check out. And, for the factories in countries such as Indonesia, pay them MORE. one of the Team sweat videos shows how much they are really paid!

They've been using sweatshops since the 1970s in South Korea and Taiwan to make goods. As the economies developed, workers later became more productive and their wages rose then some workers moved on to higher paying jobs.Later Nike found cheaper labor offered In Indonesia,China and Vietnam which prohibited labor unions.When workers demanded additional rights, Nike moved to a different location where they could continue to operate at a low cost.

Kardashian Child Labor? WTH?

Alright, Earlier Today I Found About The Kardashians Using Child Labor In China To Become The Millionaires That They Are Today!! Now I Finally Have A Reason To Hate Their Show (Not saying it's not already terrible)
Guys, I Need Your Help Here. Say Something In The Comments, Find Out More And Tell Me, Or Even Better, Do Something About It! Marko Out!WORST SITE EVAR
Yes,yes it is. I also found out that the Kardashians say they don't use child labor to make there clothes

So, what ARE sweatshops?

well if you don't know what sweatshops are, they are factories in developing countries that force people to work dawn to dusk (even very young children) they pay them VERY little (like 3 dollars a day in MEXICO!) 
Look at this poor child who probably wouldn't even be in Kindergarten if they lived in Canada working hard labour! it's torture! it should be ended! that why we made this blog. Please check out the rest of our blog to let yourself realize how bad it really is. The highest i found was $2.38 per hour


There is actually a rock band called sweatshop union, isn't that weird?

Welcome To SRS!

This is the website we put together for our Project ("Our" means Cathal, Marko and Brandyn). We will try and find every way we can to make you do something about sweatshops! Ok, lets help you figure out who writes what

White/Black = 2 or more of us (collaboration)
Green = Cathal
Aqua = Marko
Blue = Brandyn

So when ever you see Green writing, Cathal wrote it, Blue means Brandyn wrote it, Etc.

we will have pictures, videos, and more! even some writing/persuasive letters
