(Problems started in 1991)
(Lowages and poor working conditions in Indonesia)
(Nike was shamed for it's labour practices.)
(But how was Nike able to redeem themself)
(The change began when CEO Phil Knight made a speech in May 1998)
(The Nike product has become synonymous with slave wages forced overtime and abitrary abuse"Knight said . I truly believe the amercan consumer doesn't want to buy products made under abusive conditions.)

He announnces Nike will
-raise the minimum age of workers
-increase monitoring
-will adapt clean air standards in all factories
(But by becoming a leader instead of denying every allegation Nike put this overwhelming obstacle behind them,)
(Others companies who outsource could stand to learn a few things from Nike's turnaround)
(What are the pros of Nike?)
