LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
2026, Saturday, SARASOTA EDITIONNo way to treat workers
My teacher read us an article in the newspaper about the Nike company and how it treats its workers in Vietnam. I think it's unfair how they only get $ 1. 60 a day and one bathroom break in every eight-hour shift! Also they get only two water breaks.
Yes, I know there are few jobs in Vietnam and they should feel lucky, but they are not. Nike makes billions each year. It should feel ashamed that its workers don't even have enough to eat. I may never buy Nike products again unless the situation changes.
