Nike corporations in Indonesia are highly underpaying the workers. A man named Jim Keady went to Indonesia to live like the workers in the sweatshops did on their wages. He found it nearly impossible to live in those conditions because they were only paid a 1.25$ for a day of work(which can be 15 hours). 8900 rupiah or 1.25$ is barely enough to buy a half gallon of milk. Men and woman have to work hours of overtime a day to support their family financially. The CEO of Nike is very uninterested about what's happening in Indonesia and he seems to be blowing it off. Michael Moore asks Phil Knight questions about what's going on Indonesia and he seems to be acting different with him then with Jim Keady. Then when Michael Moore tries to get Phil Knight to go to Indonesia, he declines his offer and says he's will not go. Then when Michael Moore gives Phil Knight a deal, If He puts in 10,000$ so will Michael Moore. After a little negotiation, he "Gives" in.
Australian "Buyer" goes into Malaysia Sweatshop undercover.
Mike Duffy: Went undercover to find out how the workers there live.
They live in very horrible conditions and only make about 6$ a day. Also these workers cannot leave because their passports have been confiscated and they ave to work for this company for three years because of a contract.
