Nike has been in clear and open violation of its contract with the University of Washington for over a year,
Nike Roshe Run Suede mujeres negras rojas Con Calidad Superior.
That contract requires that contractors hired by Nike to produce apparel with the UW logo abide by the UW’s "code of conduct,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 2012 mujeres rojas Nosotros Outlet Store," which states that UW contractors must uphold the labor conditions of the countries that they work in. universities) Hugger and Vision Tex fired over 1800 employees without paying them the $2.6 million in severance and benefits they were due under Honduran law.
UW Professors Angelina Godoy and James Gregory wrote an Op Ed for the Seattle Times about the violation last September,
Nike Roshe Run Suede Cian Naranja Mujeres Hombres Para Barato,
Nike Roshe Run Vert foncé Blanc Mesh Hommes Pour Chaussures Pas Cher, 2009 demanding that the UW require that Nike pay the workers their legally required severance. After communicating with Nike and the Workers Rights Consortium,
Nike Free Run 5.0 Tr Red White Women Bonne Guality Et Moyennes Prix, UW’s Advisory Committee on Trademarks and Licensing (ACTL) determined on December 3 that Nike was indeed in violation of its UW contract.
On December 23,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Negro Rose Mujeres Venta Hombres, President Mark Emmert informed Nike that it is currently in violation of its contract with the UW,
Nike Run Balanza gratuito 2014 Mujeres Gris Rosa Venta Auténtico, noting that "I believe it is important to take this opportunity to underscore the importance of the Code of Conduct and emphasize Nike’s obligation to fully comply with it. I value the University’s relationship with Nike,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V2 Rose mujeres rojas Con Calidad Auténtico, but I also value highly the rights of laborers in Nike’s manufacturing plants. The failure of Nike to properly respond to these current issues will inevitably jeopardize our business relationship A continued relationship between the University of Washington and Nike is very much contingent on your appropriate resolution of this matter." He had a follow up meeting with Nike about his letter on January 4,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V5 Rosa Gris Mujeres Tienda Outlet On Sale, 2010.
But five months later,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Anti-piel Negro Rosa Mujeres Hasta 52% De Descuento,
Nike Free Run 5.0 TR Black donne blu Vendita Outlet Donna Uomo 2015, Nike hasn’t done anything of substance to correct the violation,
Nike Roshe Run Woven Women Red Black With Lowest Price Authentic, and the UW is refusing to hold Nike’s feet to the fire.
It’s in this context that Gina Cano and Lowlee Urquia two Honduran workers who are owed their severance from the Hugger and Vision Tex factories are visiting the UW Wednesday night as part of their travels throughout the country to tell their story. at Smith Hall,
Nike Roshe Run Men Grigio Nero New Green E ‘una buona scelta per voi, Room 102 on the UW campus. companies directly from the perspectives of factory workers and not just those who presume to speak on behalf of those workers (be they businesses or non profits). The event is sponsored by United Students Against Sweatshops,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Anti-piel Negro Rosa Mujeres Para Auténtico Barato, whose UW affiliate is the Student Labor Action Project. (On May 1,
Nike Roshe Run Mid Sport Red White Women Outlet Store En Ligne 2014, Gina and Lowlee will be part of a May Day march to Nike’s offices in Portland to demand justice for unpaid workers)
But will the UW listen to Gina and Lowlee? Indeed,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Verde Negro Hombres Venta Auténtico, does it have the economic independence and moral courage to really hear what these workers have to say,
Nike Roshe Run Hombres Gris Volt Outlet Store Waiting For You,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Gris Mujeres Ahorre Tiempo y Dinero Ahora, let alone act on their testimony?
I’m not optimistic,
Nike Roshe Run Carbón Negro Limón plata Mujeres Hombres Venta,
Nike Roshe Run Yeezy Gris Rosa Blanco Mujeres Más De 60% De Descuento. Why,
2012 Nike Free Run 3 Pinke Argent Femmes Pour Vente Chaussures Hommes? Because there are numerous and significant conflicts of interest within the UW administration that prevent it from adequately enforcing its code of conduct with Nike,
Nike Roshe Run Fb Yeezy d’Orange Leopard Hommes Pour Hommes Pas Cher.
The office tasked with enforcing the university’s code of conduct Creative Communications,
2013 Nike Free Run Powerlines Negro Hombres Con Calidad Superior,
302720 161 Air Jordan 17 Mid White Varsity Red For Sale Shoes,
2014 Nike Free Run Gimnasio Hombres blancos Precio Al Por Menor, formerly known as the Trademarks and Licensing office not only negotiates contracts with university licensees,
Nike Free Run 10o Aniversary Verde Gris Mujeres Comprar Con Seguridad,
Air Jordan 7 Retro Bordeaux 2011 For Sale Online With Cheap Price, but is also partly sustained by those contracts,
Nike Roshe Run Women Grey Blue With Free Shipping On Every Orders, which bring in more than $1 million annually. And because the UW’s Athletics program is self sustaining which is to say that it does not receive funding from students’ tuition or state taxpayers it is dependent upon UW contracts with apparel manufacturers to help finance its operations. These factors would both influence the President’s office in normal times,
Nike Free Run 3 de plata Mujeres Orange Venta Zapatos Auténticos, since part of the President’s job is to raise money from UW alumni,
Nike Roshe Run Wmns Sherpa Altas mujeres rojas negras En Venta,
Nike Roshe Run Yeezy Gris Hombres Usted Puede Ahorrar Mucho Aquí, and many donors care a great deal about the success of the Athletics program. But during a time of recession and state budget cuts,
Nike Roshe Run Carbón Negro Limón plata Mujeres Hombres Venta Hombres,
Nike Roshe Run mediana Negro Volt Hombres Con Descuento Grande, UW dependence upon such funding becomes even more intense.
To help address this imbalance,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Azul Blanco Hombres Con Descuento Grande, but also to help diffuse student protests,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Vert Gris Femmes À La Vente Avec Escompté Prix, President Emmert created ACTL a standing university committee to advise him on code of conduct enforcement. ACTL is a committee that was reformed after its predecessor,
2012 Nike Free Run 3 Gris Púrpura Mujeres Más De 60% De Descuento, the Licensing Advisory Committee,
Nike Roshe Run Men Hyper Blue Yellow Outlet Online Store 2014, dissolved in acrimony following the announcement that the UW had renewed its contract with Nike for 10 years without consulting the committee. Like its predecessor,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Naranja Hombres Con La Mejor Calidad, it has no institutional power whatsoever. It has no staff,
Nike Free Run 2 azules amarillas Mujeres Para Zapatos Baratos,
Nike Roshe Run Suede Cian Naranja Mujeres Hombres Con El Envío Libre, the UW is under no requirement to provide it with full and timely information about its contracts,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Mujeres Luz Azul Negro Outlet Store Waiting For You, and its recommendations to the President are entirely discretionary. Finally,
Nike Roshe Run Yeezy Negro Rojo Hombres Con Más Bajo Precio Auténtico, its voting membership is influenced by the presence of administrators. Both Creative Communications and Athletics departments have voting members on ACTL,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 2012 Yellow Silver Mujeres Nosotros Outlet Store, as does the President’s Office,
2012 Nike Free Run 3.0 Blanco Gris mujeres rojas Entrega Rápida, giving them 3 out of 11 votes. In addition,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Blue Orange Mujeres Running Zapatos For Barato, one faculty member with voting privileges,
Nike Roshe Run Gris Rojo Malla Hombres Comprar Con Seguridad, Business Professor Debra Glassman,
Men Nike Free Run 5.0 Black Blue Volt Provides Various 50 Off,
Nike Free Run 5.0 Tr Rojo Naranja Mujeres Venta Con 70% De Descuento, is married to someone who works in the apparel industry but she will not disclose to the committee who he works for.
These conflicts of interest are especially acute when it comes to the UW’s relationship to Nike. Nike has been the UW’s "sideline partner" since 1997,
Nike Run Balanza gratuito 2014 Plum mujeres rojas Venta Hombres, and in 2008 was given a 10 year extension on that partnership. In exchange for the UW placing Nike’s logo on UW sports team apparel,
Nike Free Run 5.0 Tr Gris Amarillo Naranja Mujeres Sale Barato, Nike provides the UW with free sporting equipment and apparel,
Nike Roshe Run Yeezy Azul Verde Hombres Venta Aquí Con Alta Calidad,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Azul Negro Hombres Para Auténtico Barato, along with cash payments. The total value of the current ten year contract is estimated at somewhere between $35 million and $40 million for the UW. In addition,
2013 Nike Free Run 5.0 Olympic White jaunes Femmes Outlet Worldwide, Provost Phyllis Wise whose job is basically Director of Operations at the UW and Regent Orin Smith who serves on the board that ratifies UW’s sideline partnership deals both receive six figure compensation packages from serving on Nike’s Board of Directors (Wise began in 2009 and Smith was only began serving as a Regent this year). Even the UW’s logo was designed by Nike,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Azul Negro Mujeres Guardar Descuento Grande, and is not so affectionately referred to as "the weasel" by UW administrators angered by the fact that Nike inserted an upside down Nike swoosh to form the Husky’s jaw (the UW is in the process of redesigning this logo as part of its new agreement with Nike).
It’s no wonder,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Sky Blue Femmes Pour Pas Cher Mais Le Real Hommes, then,
Nike Free Run 2 2, that attempts to get even token support for labor rights into the UW’s contract with Nike have proven futile. The UW announced its renewed sideline partnership with Nike in 2008 only weeks after Australian Channel 7 disclosed that Nike had been employing people in neo slavery conditions in Malaysia immigrants held captive against their will and forced to work for their freedom. The Board of Regents delayed its consideration of the contract for months to consider criticism of the lack of labor standards in the contract. When the Regents almost balked at approving the contract,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 Rose verde Mujeres Con Calidad Auténtico, the administration got Nike to write a special letter stating that "the University of Washington Board of Regents has NIKE’s assurance that NIKE [will make] good faith efforts to foster compliance by its factories to with NIKE’s code of conduct,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 2014 Gray mujeres rojas Precio Al Por Menor, as currently written,
Nike Free Run 4.0 fourrure Noir Bleu Hommes Pour Pas Cher Authentique, and the Fair Labor Association Workplace Code of Conduct." Significantly,
2012 Nike Free Run 4.0 Noir Rouge Gris Hommes Version Right For You, Nike made no promise to uphold the UW’s code of conduct. But the Board of Regents endorsed the sideline partnership deal anyway.
When Professor Margaret Levi worked with President Emmert following the signing of the sideline partnership deal with Nike to coordinate higher labor standards for goods purchased by "Nike schools" in the Pac 10 and around the country,
Nike Roshe Run Hyp Mujeres Negro Rosa Nueva Colección Está Disponible, Nike gave nothing substantive and the effort fell flat,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 2012 Pink Mujeres Con Calidad Auténtico, though Professor Levi continues to talk publicly about the possibility of reviving the effort.
All of this provides background for understanding the impotence of the UW to respond to Nike’s near complete disregard for UW concerns about Nike’s violation of the UW’s code of conduct,
Nike Free Run 2 Negro Blanco Azul Amarillo Liquidación Envío Rápido.
While President Emmert could have put Nike "on notice" that the UW would cut Nike’s contract if it failed to "remediate" its violation of its contract,
136080 701 Air Jordan 16 Ginger White Gift For You Or Your Family, he chose to issue a less forceful,
Nike Free Run 2 Azul Blanco Gris Ahorre Tiempo y Dinero Ahora, "strongly worded letter." The UW has followed the issue closely in communications with Nike,
Air Jordan Force 5 Black Blue Red Have The Lowest Price Online,
2013 Nike Free Run Líneas Marrón Hombres Bueno Guality Y Media Precio, and as more information has come to the surface showing that Hugger and Vison Tex mistreated their workers in other ways. But it has still so far shown an unwillingness to begin the process of cutting its contract with Nike.
On December 23,
Plata Nike Roshe Run Mujeres Hombres Carbón Negro Limón Venta,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Azul de cielo Mujeres Para Hombres Baratos, 2009,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Men Negro Verde Tenemos Buena Reputación, Nike responded to concerns raised by President Emmert and other university presidents with a letter which claimed that there had been a "miscommunication" about how much apparel Nike had produced for universities at the two Honduran factories. It also disclaimed any responsibility for the conduct or legal obligations of its contractors (since it doesn’t own the factories in question),
Nike Roshe Run Carton Allarme Rosso Con alta qualità e prezzo basso, despite the fact that this stand cuts against the codes of conduct it agreed to comply with in its contracts with various universities. And that,
Nike Free Run 3 grises amarillentas Mujeres Todo De Alta Calidad, more or less,
Nike Free Run 2 Antracita Gris Blanco Negro Amarillo 70% De Descuento, has been its line ever since.
Meanwhile,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Negro Azul Mujeres Más De 60% De Descuento,
Women Nike Free Run 3 Tiffany Blue You Can Find The Latest Style,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Verde Mujeres Orange Para Zapatos Baratos, the Workers Rights Consortium has documented that "in the months prior to closing,
Nike Free Run 3 Loup Gris Bleu Prism Volt Pour Pas Cher Mais Le Real, Hugger and Vision Tex failed to make legally required payments on workers’ behalf to Honduras’ national health insurance program and instead illegally pocketed the deductions from employee pay that are supposed to be used for this purpose." This is a clear violation of the UW’s code of conduct,
Nike Roshe Run Negro Rosa Mujeres Para Baratos Pero Real Zapatos,
Nike Roshe Run Bleu foncé Jaune Citron Mesh Femmes 70% De Réduction, and occurred during a time when the factories were still producing apparel for Nike.
On March 15,
Nike Roshe Run Yeezy Negro Blanco Hombres Zapatos Corrientes De Venta, Nike informed the UW that beyond providing worker retraining programs for Hugger and Vison Tex workers,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 gris púrpura Mujeres Hasta 52% De Descuento, it would not kick in funds to ensure that the workers were paid what they are legally owed. That worker retraining program has denied interviews with the Workers Rights Consortium and local unions,
136064 120 Jordan 3 Fire Red Retro 2013 With Authentic Quality, however.
Yet in a show of weakness,
Nike Free Run Powerlines Ii Azul Rojo Hombres Con Descuento 56% -78%, ACTL has advised the President to not put Nike on notice for its contract violations. In a March 23 letter to Emmert,
Nike Roshe Run Black Motion Green On Sale With Discounted Price, it said that "The ACTL is satisfied that Nike is making satisfactory progress in terms of disclosure although there is still far more to be done on this front and in terms of adequate facility oversight." It went on to recommend "a delay in putting Nike on notice" so that it could gather more information from and apply more pressure to Nike,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V7 Luce Grigio Rosso Donne Con migliore qualità, even though Nike has openly stated that it will not do anything further on this case.
In short,
2012 Nike Free Run 2 donne Grigio Rosa Saldi 2014. Get 85% di sconto, the UW has caved. It refuses to exercise the only power it has over Nike the legal threat to cut its contract. Placing Nike on notice would still give Nike 90 days to comply with the order,
Nike Roshe Run Negro Blanco Rojo Hombres Para Usted Al Mejor Precio, and could reopen a dialogue that Nike has itself closed. But the UW hasn’t done it,
Nike Free Run 2 azules amarillas Mujeres Venta Con 70% De Descuento, and is making its legal contracts appear like paper tigers.
Meanwhile,
Nike Free Run 4.0 Azul de cielo Mujeres Con Calidad Superior,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V7 Azul Negro Mujeres Ven y Únete a Nosotros, the University of Wisconsin has cut its contract with Nike,
Nike Free Run 5.0 Tr Pink Mujeres Negras Para Zapatos Baratos,
Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 2014 Noir Vert Hommes Pour Pas Cher Mais Le Real, and students around the country have mobilized a "just pay it campaign" to get other schools to follow suit. If the UW wants its contracts to mean anything,
Nike Roshe Run Hyp Qs Aliceblue Navy Hombres Con Calidad Superior, if it wants its contractors to take it seriously,
Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 gris púrpura Mujeres Entrega Rápida a Su Puerta, if it doesn’t want to appear captive to big businesses like Nike,
