Nike sneakers spark Vietnamese labor abuse claims
Labor activist Thuyen Nguyen reports 35,000 workers at five Vietnamese Nike contractors endure 12 hour days under harsh conditions. He cites 15 year old girls, sexual harassment, restricted water and bathroom access, and punishment drills. Nike responds that contractors are not Nike factories and says efforts are underway to improve conditions.
