Blog#2, Labor issues in China.
There are several problems in China with labor. Its finally catching up with these stingy, money hungry American corporation owners. One of the problems is nike factories in China. These companies try their hardest to find the cheapest way to make as most money as they can, whether it be making employees do alot more work than they should, or pay then close to nothing. As the cost of living increases in China the pay from these American companies does not. The Chinese who were people that never really revolted or complained are now standing up for themselves.
The Chinese were never the type to complain or even fight back against these American Powerhouse corparations, but they finally got sick of the abuse and mistreatment. Americans brought these companies over seas which lost thousands of american jobs just so they can pay pennies compared to what they paid their employees here. The big strike back was against nike. The workers where way underpaid and they were way understaffed. After months of horrible mistreatment they finally started going to strikes and sit ins. Then nike starts to lash out and wonder why? Are you kidding me? How in the world can you sit back and make it even a thought on why. If you had any common sense you would recognize. Let one of the VP's, President, or Chair holders work on of those jobs for just one day and then they could actually relate. The Chinese have been mistreated and underpaid for way too long, now they are finally getting up and saying no more!
