Nike sweatshop campaign documents
Includes a confidential Ernst & Young audit of labor and environmental conditions inside a Nike factory in Vietnam which was recently leaked to the Transnational Resource & Action Center (TRAC). This is the first time that an accounting firm's labor and environmental audit of any apparel company has ever been made public. This internal audit reveals that Nike workers continue to work in hazardous and unjust working conditions. And TRAC's report, Smoke From A Hired Gun, which is an analysis and critique of the Ernst & Young audit, shows that things are even worse than Nike admits. This report exposes sweatshop conditions. It also poses alternatives to accounting firm audits as a way to monitor the global operations of U.S. corporations such as Nike [author]
