SWEATSHOPS in LA.

1. How is the life of sweatshop workers the same as those in Indonesia? How is it different?
Answer: it is the same because they are still getting paid less than others, and is still struggling through life. It is different because they get paid more which means they are able to get a house and no be living around their own poop like how people in Indonesia does. Also there are people who are helping the people in LA get paid more and get less hours.

2. Why is it that poor immigrants (newcomers) end up working at sweatshops? Why don't they work as lawyers, doctors, or at McDonalds ?
Answer: The reason is because they need green cards and citzens cards (or something like that) , but in sweatshops they don't need experience or any of that.

3. Predict what is going to happen in the end of the movie?
Answer: i think it is going to be the same, just them working as hard as they can just to get by, but my hopes are that they get paid more and work less hours so they can see their kids and stuff.

Dear Nike,
I don't like how the nike company has been treating us. Us people in Indonesia are working a 12 hour shift and only earning a dollar a day that can only get me a little bit of food for me and my family. When I see that famous people like Tiger Woods get millions of dollars just for wearing nikes, it upsets me. It upsets me because we are puting hard work into the shoes and other people don't give us credit for it at all. All the money that famous people earn just for wearing our sneakers is unbelievable, all that money could buy so much houses for half of the factory workers and have enough money for food. I hope you read this and feel compassionate and please do something that will help me and facotry workers in Indonesia.

SLAVERY PART 2

1. How much does nike workers in Indonesia each day? How many hours day do they work ?
A: The nike workers get $1.25 a day. And when they work overtime just to get by the hours are about 15 hours a day for 6 to 7 days a week.

2. What is life like for Indonesia Nike workers at home ?
A: it is nasty i think. One of the reasons i think it is nasty is because of the fact is that there is feces all around the house. They are sleeping on the floor with rats and bugs. They are not even having enough time with the kids ( the people who have kids).

3. Why wont nike speak to Jim or Leslie or let them visit the shoe factory?

A: I think it is because they think that Leslie & Jim will convince them to protest to work less hours and get paid more like how the people in L.A did. Or they probably didn't wanna see how they treated the factory workers and if Jim & Leslie did see the nike company will probably get shut down.

BEHIND THE SWOOSH, part one.

1. What does it mean to have a "decent living"? What should you be able to afford to buy?
A: I think you should be able to live in a house or at least a apartment. Also you should have a car and be able to afford clothes and food and have a good health care plan.

2. Where do your sneakers come from ? Who makes them ?
A: My sneakers are made in Indonesia. I think the people who made my sneakers are people who work in factories ( sweat shops) and make shoes and other stuff for a living.

3. What is a sweat shop ? ( take a guess even though you have no idea what it is)
A. I don't really know what a sweat shop is but I think it is an factory where people make shoes and/or clothes for minimum wage or less.
