WHERE CAN YOU GET THE FACTS ON OUR LABOR PRACTICES? (HINT: PROBABLY NOT FROM THE GUY CARRYING A SIGN AND YELLING “NIKE SUCKS!”) We’ve got some pretty vocal critics. Despite what you might have heard, Nike doesn’t ignore problems in its factories. For the record, we have some of the most comprehensive independent labor monitoring programs of any company in the world. That’s a fact. You’ll find more at www.nikebiz.com. Still skeptical? Then we invite you to find out for yourself. Because right at the site, you can apply for one of ten positions with a PricewaterhouseCoopers monitoring team, and join them on inspections of our overseas factories. Make no mistake: these will be actual positions as foreign labor monitors-not just “meet and greet” visits to a “model” facility that’s been cleaned up for public www.nikebiz.com consumption. You’ll work your ass off investigating factories, talking to workers, and ultimately, writing a report for the world. So the next time you hear somebody ranting about Nike’s “sweatshops,” try and remember the expression,“l’ll believe it when I see it.” Because as of now, we’re giving you a chance to do just that.
