In the past, Nike labor compliance representatives approached CIC several times to discuss working conditions in China. CIC makes it very clear that we will not speak for workers in China. It is Nike's obligation to identify the problems with workers. They should discuss with workers directly. In fact, workers are in the front line.
Nobody can realize the situation better than workers do.
It is clear that Nike should meet workers face to face and provide channels for workers to express their discontent. Moreover, workers should be guaranteed that their voices will be listened and they would not be victimized when they exercise the freedom of expression. Nike's Code Nike is always proud of its sophisticated Code. It is found, however, that the Code is poorly implemented. It is ridiculous that in the largest country producing for Nike in the world, most workers in China know nothing of Nike's Code of Conduct and some workers even regard the Code as another set of factory regulations.
