Question 1. Conduct research to see if people are better off because NIKE is there?
• What is the cost living in the worker’s country and how do the wages compare with average earnings?
• Do the workers have to do this work? Why/why not?
• Does having the US company there have a chilling impact on other home-grown industries?
• How corrupt is the government there?
• What is the life of a worker like since the US company came to the worker’s country?
• What do local people say about the company?
• What benefits does the US company bring to the local community?
Question 2. Are people better off?
Based on your research above, is Keady telling the truth or is he wrong? Are workers making those wages better off? Based on your research to Question 1 above, answer the question generally. Are workers at a Nike facility of your choice better off because the US company is doing business there?
