This document criticizes Nike for exploiting child labor and poor working conditions in sweatshops located in developing countries. It notes that Nike takes advantage of lax labor laws in places like China and Vietnam to open sweatshops and avoid organized labor. While Nike claims to oppose sweatshops, the reality is that children as young as 8 years old work long hours in its overseas factories under difficult conditions. Many groups protest Nike's practices and call for improved monitoring and enforcement of international labor standards.
