A VOICE FROM NIKE'S FACTORY FLOOR
Roselio Reyes, Dominican Republic
7 p.m. Tuesday, May 23
150 Columbia, University of Oregon
In all the uproar about Nike and sweatshop labor, one voice has been
conspicuously absent: the voice of Nike workers themselves.
Roselio Reyes is a former Nike employee at the BJ&B factory in the
Dominican Republic. He now works as a labor organizer at BJ&B and with
a group of student activists in Santo Domingo.
Rather than relying on the assurances of corporate leaders telling us
that there are no labor violations, here's the chance to hear a voice from
the shop floor.
For more information, contact the Human Rights Alliance at 346-4356.
