Nike settles 'sweatshops claims' case
Nike has agreed to pay €1.4m to a workers rights group to settle a “sweatshops” case which has been dragging on for five years.
Marc Kasky, a San Francisco labour activist, had sued the athletic shoe and clothing giant in 1998, accusing it of false advertising for claiming the company was protecting labour rights at overseas contract factories that make footwear for Nike.
