Nike to cut production in Indonesia
02/08/2002
Nike and Reebok have decided to cut production in Indonesia to the consternation of Indonesian workers, it has emerged this week.
Reebok's recent decision to terminate a deal to make shoes at a factory in Bandung has been greeted by angry protests outside the US embassy in Jakarta. On Tuesday, around 1,000 workers, upset at the loss of nearly 5,400 jobs, converged and burned a giant tennis shoe and chanted anti-Reebok slogans.
