Violet Apparel, Cambodia
Nike claims that the brand ended its relationship with Violet Apparel in 2016. But documents forwarded by the Cambodian Alliance for Trade Unions to Nike show evidence of subcontracting – including photographs of order forms and signatures from management of both factories – by Nike supplier, Olive Apparel. Nike’s own Code of Conduct states that suppliers are required to pay ‘severance when employment ends’. Nike recorded a staggering profit of US$1.4 billion from December 2020 - March 2021.[1] Nike must take responsibility and compensate the workers who make their profits.
