Wow.. some of you guys are just now finding this out? What have you been living under a big Nike logo shaped rock? Meh.. I guess it\'s just my strong UAW heritage. I learned about this YEARS ago when I was up in Black Lake - Walter and May Ruther educational retreat. The AFL-CIO with UAW, Teamsters, and various other unions are doing what they can to help.. but since these people are in a whole other countries there\'s not much they can do without offical gov\'t backing. Fat chance of that happening with a Democratic president.. and you might as well forget about anything beind done while Bush is in office.
Besides.. there\'s enough problems at home with dozens of factories crossing the border (and ocean) every day, and the general weakening of the Union\'s presence since the Regan administration.
Long story short.. it sucks.. but there\'s not much we can do about it except for boycotting Nike. I don\'t see pop culture brainwashed kids giving up their "coo threads" jus to help support some village dweller in a country half a world away.
