only $1.25 !

well... today in class i was truly surprised. we watched a video called behind the swoosh, which was about 2 people who co owned a company that is sponsored by Nike. the 2 people went on a trip to Indonesia to visit the workers of the Nike factory, who prepare and make the Nike products, and in that video we learned that a MULTI- BILLION dollar company only gives their workers $1.25 a day. that is really crazy ! also we saw in the video that the factory dumps scrap rubber products in a park and burn the pile. that is very dangerous for the young children because the toxins in the rubber can harm them. these people cannot eat, use the bathroom, sleep on a bed, all because make $1.25, they can not live the way they do and i honestly feel for them.
