Nike, do you see us now?

We have just launched a major new campaign in support of women workers -- check it out here.

The campaign features an extraordinary video featuring women workers from across Asia who make clothing and shoes for Nike.  I just watched it and was very moved by these women and their struggle. 

The message they are sending could not be clearer: 

  • Pay us what you owe us.  
  • Treat us with respect.  
  • And if you're going to be running advertisements promoting the image of "strong women", why not include us? 

You can watch this very short video here

Those women come from 25 garment worker unions from India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Bangladesh, coordinated by Asia Floor Wage Alliance and Global Labor Justice. 

Today, the campaign is sending a photo petition from over 1,000 workers to Nike to demand wage increases and human rights protections in its supply chain. 

You can help make sure that Nike hears those women by clicking here 

Please share this message with your friends, family and fellow union members.

Thank you.
