The article I read is called Fight for fair treatment of workers: Don't buy Nike. The workers' in Indonesia only get paid $1.25 a day and they could only afford a 8 foot 8 one bed room apartment, if the workers' have extra money they usually pay for tooth paste or soap. They don't have enough money to sponsor there kids education. #3 People have the right to a safe life. I think this right is being violated because they only make $1.25 a day and live in a 8 foot house. If they live in a 8 foot 8 house and share a one bed room with 1 person could sometimes be unsafe with the little room limit. The article says "In addition to the difficult, yet technically legal hardship of earning minimum wage, workers have suffered human rights violations at Nike factories." I think the issue is the workers are not getting treated as they should. If the workers are helping the business grow and make money why are they not getting treated the way they should? I thought that If Lebron James could donate 90 million dollars to them , how come the worker’s are still not getting paid enough?
In the poem "The Sweat Shop" there was a worker who got treated like a machine so bad where to the point he thought he was a machine. I think right #3 People have the right to a safe life, is being violated . I pick #3 because the worker feels like he is a machine and he says in the poem " I have no feeling, no thoughts, no understanding." Humans are not suppose to be treated in that way to the point where they forget there meaning or forget they have feelings. I think the poem was different from the article because in the article Fight for fair treatment of workers: Don't buy Nike , the workers didn't get treat as bad as the worker from the poem . I think overall the workers shouldn't get treated like they have no meaning . If they help the business and make money for them , than they should be able to get the proper treatment they need .
