NIKE! (Including a list of other

Boycott NIKE (with emphasis on Viet
Nam)
(Personal commentary--Several years ago a number of civil rights
organizations criticized Nike for targeting African-Americans
with its marketing, while it had virtually no African-Americans
in its upper management. I have always thought this effort was
misguided. The problem with Nike is that it has utterly rejected
the ethic originally propounded by Walter Reuther, and later
adopted by Henry Ford, that in order to create a prosperous and
stable society, you must produce usable and affordable products,
manufactured by a well-paid class of workers who can afford to
actually consume the products you produce. Instead, Nike is a
bunch of white guys who have made themselves very rich by using a
massive marketing machine to create a demand--particularly among
the economically disadvantaged--for an overpriced product of
marginal utility, manufactured overseas by impoverished workers
receiving little more than slave wages.)
Clean Clothes Campaign
Sweatshop Watch -- A coalition of
