Obama puts Nike in trade spotlight despite sweatshop stigma of past

2015-05-07 05:08:50| Apparel - Topix.net

President Barack Obama will make a high-profile pitch for a Pacific trade deal he promises will protect workers on Friday at Nike Inc, a company once reviled for using Asian sweatshops to make its famous sneakers. In choosing the company's Oregon headquarters as the backdrop for his message, Obama risks reminding people of global trade's downside just when he needs to convince nervous Democrats to back the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership , a key plank of the administration's strategic pivot to Asia.
