In #Indonesia, 273,000 #garmentworkers make #Nike products, with a typical wage of just $1 per hour. Another 57,000 workers in #Cambodia make Nike products for around $1.18 per hour. Workers are not directly employed by Nike but work for factories that contract with the #sportswear company. Nike reported $51.4 billion in revenue in 2024.
The workers taught passersby an Indonesian chant: “Hidup Buruh,” or “Long live the workers.”

A day earlier, someone noticed cracks in the structure. However, factory officials, who had contracts with Benneton and other major U.S. labels, insisted the workers return to the job.
