Nike monitoring Malaysian factory after abuses

Nike…said on Friday it was putting a Malaysian contract factory [Hytex Apparel] on "red alert" after an investigation revealed workers living in substandard housing and wages being garnished…”Our investigation confirms serious breaches of Nike's Code of Conduct at the Hytex factory," said Hannah Jones, vice president of corporate responsibility for Nike…The factory will be subject to additional monitoring from Nike as orders to change policies are implemented…Closing the Hytex factory would be a last resort for Nike, Jones said. "If we cut a factory, we lose our influence to force them to change," she said.
