Nike publishes monitoring report

Students visit factories: A report available on Nike's
website critiques factory conditions and monitoring

9y Mark Vanderhoft

EDITOR fN CHIEF

Shoe and apparel manufacturer and
anti-sweatshop target Nike posted yester-
day on their website the reports of student
monitors who visited 32 factories this
spring.

The reports delivered a picture of fac-
tories that may not match the sweatshops
students learned about in American Histo»
ry. but nonetheless are still wracked by
problems.

Despite a few selfideprecating parts of
the report. Nike has featured the report
prominently on their website and has been

publicizing the report.

"What these 16 students have done is
taken a long hard look at our monitoring
process. and the lion's share of our colle-
giate licensed product manufacturing
sites." said Dusty Kidd. director of labor
practices for Nike.

"They have taught us a lot. We take
their observations atid recommendations
very seriously. and commit to report back
what we and the factories have done. in
three months."

The report. divided into three parts for
Asia. North America and Latin America.
presents an overview of factory conditions
and a critique of l’ricewaterhouse(‘tiopers'

monitoring process for those factories.
Generally. the students found basic
health and safety working conditions.
such as cleanliness and ventilation. to be
positive. The students also found little evi-
dence of tiitderage workers at the factories.
But. students found. workers had little

understanding of the right to freedom of

association. leading the students to believe
that workers may have feared gathering to
right arty wrongdoings.

Essentially: students said. most work
ers probably didn't understand the free
dom of association because their home
lands didn‘t have such concepts integrated
into their basic civil rigltts and the con
cept was further muddled in translation,

()vertiine was also a problem at many
factories. and was compounded by irregu»
lar working hours. short lunch breaks and
no rest breaks.

In one sampling of 25 workers. one stti
dent reported six said they had been the
victims of physical violence at the facto
ries. \Yhilc students at some plants said
workers felt comfortable addressing griev
ances. students who visited other factories
said workers either were not comfortable
addressing grievances or didn‘t know how
to file grievances

Students were also concerned that the
audits to monitor working conditions at
the factories may not have been catciting
all violations at the plants.

"(‘urrently. tl’ricewaterhtiuset‘oopers)
audits are scheduled with factory manage-
ment two to three weeks in advance." the
report said. “With such advanced notice.
there is a natural concern that factory con»

Internships up
job chances

By Ashley Heuser

rov'meiinvc weak

The value of an internship these days could be the differ
ence between finding a job right away and searching long and
hard.

There is a tit) percent chance that a person doing an intern
ship w ill be offered a job after their internship is completed.
said Lonise Stone. director ofcxpericntial education.

()nly one percent of people are hired over those who have
interned. even though they may have more experience. she
said.

"You are going to be a more desirable candidate because
they know you and they have spent time training you." she
said,

Some students. such as Mindy Little. are proof.

Little. a dental laboratory technology Junior at Lexington
(‘ominunity (‘ollego recently got a job at a dental lab in (‘orbin
that will he promised to her after she graduates.

”The employer was way impressed and I got a job over the
summer and a future job after i graduate." she said.

Little has also had part time jobs in dental offices, She feels
that the combination of that experience along with her .iUIt this
summer will help her get ahead.

lfan internship is not a possibility. some students find vol
unteering in their field of study good preparation. Amanda
Moore. a speech pathologyjunior. is getting her foot in the door
early through volunteering. She has volunteered numerous
hours of her time to several learning centers in town.

Moore has also volunteered at the YA Medical (‘enter
where she worked with the elderly.

Moore has volunteered for two years at the Kentucky
Speech. Language. and Hearing t\\$()('lilllflll office, It is more
like a paper work job. but she said it introduced her to different
fields within speech pathology.

Her latest good deed has been tutoring for the School after
School program at the (‘arnegie (‘enter for Literacy and Learn
ing.

Little advised students in whatever field of study they may
be in to start getting experience now.

"(let your foot in the door Do whatever you can becatise if
you're going to do this your whole life. you need to make sure
you like it." she said.

for the day of the audit."

That natural concern was
a big problem for at least one
UK member of United Students
Against Sweatshops. who felt
the report was not credible
since the visits were an-
nounced and all parties in-
volved were either paid by
Nike or had transportation
and accommodation paid for
by the company.

“It seems logical that a fac-
tory's going to clean up ifthey
know someone's coming." said
Amy Shelton. a Spanish and
linguistics junior.

"My mom‘s coming to visit
me. so I‘m definitely going to
clean my apartment. If 1 ex-
pected my mom everyday. my
apartment would always be
clean."

Carter Adler. a music and
Honors senior. said the report
confirmed many of his suspi-

cions about the factories. but
he was disturbed by the way
the report was presented.

"It was critical ofthe mon-
itoring process but was
phrased in a positive way." he
said. “lfl write down every
item. it‘s pretty appalling
what's going on."

Adler doubts the report
will have any real bearing on
Nike‘s practices. but said he
will follow the company and
waits for their July 1 response
to the report.

Marissa Fugatc. an inter“
national economics and Span-
ish junior at l'K. was among
the 16 students who participat-
ed in the monitoring. She went
to three factories in El Sal-
vador over spring break. and
was pleased with overall con-
ditions at the factories.

"I hope people will look at
it and realize. yes. there's been
problems. but that‘s it pretty
much the only. or the first.
time students have been able
to review the process being
used by the FLA (Fair Labor
Associationi," Fugate said.

Sierra

Club gives no

love to Republicans

ASSOClAllD PRESS

WASHING'l‘DN Hoping to make the envi-
ronment a bigger political issue. the Sierra Club
began an $8 million T\' and radio campaign
Tuesday aimed at l? congressional races

The ads. mostly praising Democrats. will be
combined with other activities. including voter
guides and tliers at comnnmity events. as the
group attempts to elect a more pro-environment
Congress.

The Sierra Club is spending several hundred
thousand dollars on the first round of ads. which

began airing 'l‘uesday. Within the next couple of

months. the group also plans ads on the presiden-
tial campaign. criticizing the record of Gov.
George W. Bush in Texas. as it did during the
GDP primaries. It may also air ads praising De-
mocrat Al Gore,

The ads unveiled Tuesday both praise and
criticize candidates for the House and Senate. al-
most exclusively helping Democrats. Just one Re—
publican is praised and no Democrats are criti-
cized.

“It’s no secret that Democrats generally have
better records." said Dan Weiss. political direc
tor for the Sierra Club.

The group would not say who was paying for
the campaign The money is being routed using a
provision of the tax code that allows the group to
avoid paying taxes on contributions without re—
quiring it to say where the money comes from.

The group said it was looking for tight races
where it could make a difference. and it chose
many of the closest races around the country.
But the one Republican who is praised. Rep.
Christopher Shays of Connecticut. is not expect-

Most places will see television ads. typically
around TV news shows.

l'smg polling that shows people care about
local environmental concerns. the group is tar~
geting each campaign around a local issue. In
Michigan. it‘s pollution in the Great Lakes. ln
Washington state. it's salmon runs. And in Mon»
tana. it‘s contamination from the Zortnian-llan-
dusky Mine

"All politics is local when it comes to the en-
vironment.” said (‘elinda Lake. a Democratic
pollster who helped the Sierra Club develop the
campaign,

In past campaigns. the Sierra Club spent just
under halfof its political money on paid advertis-
ing. with the rest paying for grassroots activi-
ties. A precise budget for 2le) was not available.
Weiss said.

The group may add to its list of targeted
races. So far. in addition to Shays. it plans cant-
paigns supporting Democratic Reps. Mark Udall

nis Moore of Kansas. David Bonior of Michigan.
Rush Holt of New Jersey. Shelley Berkley of
Nevada, .loseph Hoetfel of Pennsylvania. Adam
Smith and .lay lnslee of Washington and Lane

It also plans to criticize the records of these
Republicans running for the Senate: Sens. Slade

ASSOCMTED PRESS

NEW YORK 7 Vice l’resi
dent Al Gore cast himself Tues-
day as the worthy inheritor of
American confidence in the
booming economy and sought
to shackle rival George W.
Bush to his president~father’s
"amazing deﬁcits."

Gore's speech to the Associ-
ation for a Better New York
was the first of a promised se-
ries of compareand-contrast
speeches meant to pick apart
Republican Bush's recent
health. education and environ»
mental appeals to moderate vot-
ers proposals Gore derided
as a “post-primary search for
rehabilitation.“

The Democratic presiden-
tial candidate also hopes to ce-
ment the core of his argument
for claiming the White House
after President Clinton: that
stewardship of the strong econ-
omy should go to him because
he, has. in his words. the

“toughness. leadership and ex-
perience to maintain it,”

Responding to Gore's critiv
cism. the Texas governor told
reporters that the Democrat
was misrepresenting Bush pro-
posals because he was “so anx-
ious to become president that
he will do whatever it takes.”

But in general Tuesday.
Bush aimed for a contrast with
Gore in tone and philosophy.
bringing Texas Democrats with
him to campaign in Ohio and
asserting that bipartisanship is
the key to success in Washing-
ton,

Tucked into his own pitch
on the economy was an implicit
criticism that the Clinton-Gore
administration has neglected to
spread the wealth of the strong
economy.

“in this campaign I have
shared my goal of continuing
our economic success and ex
panding its blessings to reach
all those who live in the shad-

education. He said. “1 want peo-
ple to understand that in order
to put the best public policy for-
ward it‘s going to require
both Republicans and Democ—
rats to recognize the good ideas
and to cotne together."

if Bush‘s appearance was
meant as a show of bipartisan
bridge—building. Gore's lecture
inside a hotel ballroom seemed
intended to showcase his mas
tery of ﬁscal and monetary poli»
cy.

By getting rid of budget
deficits inherited in 1993 from
President Bush. the Clinton-
Gore administration lowered
interest rates. Gore said.

Gore also did a bit of name-
dropping. calling former ’l‘rea»
sury Secretary Robert Rubin.
who is deeply respected on Wall
Street. “my tutor." And. said
Gore. “You will ﬁnd no greater
supporter titan am I of Alan
Greenspan." the Federal Re-
serve chairman.

UK to its second straight winning sea»
son. is the first Cat to be drafted in the
WNBA since its inception in 1997.

"I‘m just so excited." Owens said. "I
can‘t believe this is really happening.
I’m just going to go down there and
work as hard as I can to make the team
and represent Kentucky well.

“Miami is a new team and they are
doing a lot of great things down there.
I'm just proud for a chance to be part of
the WNBA.“

Four other Cats were not selected in
the draft. but have been invited to vari-
ous WNBA tryouts.

ington, Ky.) will tryout with the Miami

ered the best prospect in Europe. was
the No. 1 pick in the draft. selected by

Wauters, a 6‘foot-4 center. to lead the
four-round, 64-player draft.

Holdsclaw was the consensus No. 1 pick
out of college. the guard-heavy draft fea-
tured no clear favorite.
