As international attention has focused on Colin Kaepernick’s Nike ad, activists and many on social media have pointed to the well-documented low wages, long hours and poor working conditions.
" Activists, organizers and leaders sometimes make mistakes, and I think Kaepernick made a mistake by aligning himself with a company that exploits workers and breaks unions," Rosa Clemente, an activist and political commentator, told The New York Times this week. "It’s not just a capitalist company—it’s a hyper-capitalist company.
A June report from the Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) alleged that factory workers today receive even less of Nike profits than they did in the 1990s.
" The share of production costs of Nike and Adidas shoes that ends up in a worker’s pocket is now a staggering 30 percent less than in the early 1990s (2. 5 percent in 2017 for Nike shoes compared with 4 percent in 1995)," the organization said, Reuters reported. According to CCC, the company has transferred much of its manufacturing to Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam as wages have increased in China.
In the three southeast Asian nations, average earnings for garment workers are 45 to 65 percent below the so-called "living wage," according to CC@C@
Nike told Reuters that all its factories are required to pay at least the local minimum wage or the "prevailing wage. " This includes additional pay for overtime and legally mandated benefits.
A June 2017 report by The Guardian also revealed that more than 500 workers in four factories supplying to Nike, Puma, Asics and VF Corporation in Cambodia had been hospitalized due to working conditions. The brands confirmed that the incidents occurred. Most of the workers fainted due to high temperatures and long work hours.
Nike and other sportswear companies are however following normal practices that many of the world’s top
apparel
makers adhere to. The garment industry has also spurred significant economic growth throughout Asia.
" The garment industry in Asia provides millions of jobs to millions of women and men, it has been behind some of the biggest economic growth in the region. But this rapid growth has come at a price—and it is the workers who are paying it," Asia Floor Wage, an organization that pushes for better wages for factory workers in various Asian countries, explained on its website.
"All garment workers in Asia need a wage increase to be able to provide for themselves and their families basic needs—including housing, food, education and healthcare. However, often when workers struggle to improve their wage and conditions in one country, companies relocate to another country where wages and conditions are lower," the organization said.
It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that________.
选项
A、all garment workers in Asia can earn enough to meet the fundamental need of their families
B、the struggle of the workers to raise their pay and working conditions is often effective
C、the garment industry benefits the economic growth in Asia
D、companies like Nike usually attach sufficient importance to the requirement of the workers
答案
C
解析
推断题。根据倒数第二段第一句The garment industry in Asia provides millions of jobs to millions of women and men,it has been behind some of the biggest economic growth in the region“亚洲的服装业为数百万男女提供了数百万个就业机会,是该地区最大的经济增长支柱”,服装业有利于亚洲的经济增长,与C项描述一致。根据最后一段第一句“亚洲所有服装工人都需要加薪才能为自己和家人提供基本需求——包括住房、食品、教育和医疗保健”可知,当前服务业的工资尚不能满足生活基本需求,排除A项;根据最后一段最后一句“通常当一个国家的工人努力提高工资和改善工作条件时,公司会搬迁到另一个工资较低和条件较差的国家”,与B项不符,排除;D项原文未提及,排除。
