Nike owes workers $MILLIONS in stolen wages   Thousands of investors meet tomorrow for Nike’s annual meeting, but there’s a shareholder rebellion brewing over the company’s refusal to pay thousands of workers in Thailand and Cambodia wages they’re owed. Let’s make this a public relations nightmare for Nike and force them to cough up. Sign the petition calling on Nike to pay workers what they’re owed now. [ Sign the petitionÂ]( {NAME}, Nike won’t pay 4,500 workers in Thailand and Cambodia. The megabrand made 22 billion dollars alone in 2023. The amount that is owed to the workers is a mere 0.01% of that profit. Nike was the poster child of poor labour practices in the 1990s and has since poured billions of dollars into improving its image, so we know if tens of thousands of Nike customers demand it coughs up the millions it owes in unpaid wages, the company will listen. [Sign the petition for Nike to pay workers what they’re owed now.]( During the pandemic, two of Nike’s suppliers, Violet Apparel and Hong Seng Knitting, failed to follow the law in Cambodia and Thailand, respectively, illegally depriving their mostly female workforce of what they were owed. One affected worker has shared: “When I heard that our factory closed, I felt like I lost everything...it’s hard to get money for my child’s schooling or to pay the bank, or for medical treatment when my family is sick.” According to Nike’s own policies and international law, the brand is responsible for protecting the rights of all workers who make Nike products. Adidas, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Victoria’s Secret, and other brands sourced clothing from Cambodia and Thailand during the pandemic and have ensured that their workers were compensated – yet Nike refuses and has sprouted lies to justify its actions. The amount the workers are owed is a mere 0.01% of Nike’s profits, but could mean the difference between workers being able to support their families, and hunger.
