The essay is based on the case study ‘Nike ‘Sweat Shops'. The author discusses various points of view - pro and contra - on Nike's labour practices in Asia, where it sub-contracts its production. Arguments of those who support Nike include the adoption of the Code of Conduct, regular checks, as well as the commissioned research into work conditions at Asian factories. The opposing side doubts the impartiality of the research and its limited nature and argues that the Code of Conduct is not being properly enforced. The paper concludes with the author expressing his personal opinion on the debate.
