Workers strike at Nike supplier's factory
03/04/2008
The factory in Long An province, owned by Vietnam Ching Luh Shoes, pays workers a basic wage of $58 a month, but workers have asked for a 22% increase.
The factory is one of the 50 that Nike uses in Vietnam
and accounts for 12% of its output in Vietnam, where Nike makes about 30% of its global supply of shoes. Strikes have been taking place regularly across the Vietnamese footwear industry since the start of 2008.
