Nike says that now they have made sure that they give all the children that have been working in the factories food and education and only rehire them when they are old enough. But there have been cases in cambodia where Nike has been criticised by using child labour. Click the link to find out more. Bye :-) :-) :-) p.s. Great video, Iosa and CJ! Hi guys,

Anyway I found out something quite interesting about New Balance, The website http://www.nlcnet.org/article.phpid=105#ChildLabor says that When in the past New Balance did have child labourers, they felt it was too hard just to kick everyone out because they would have nowhere to live so they decided that they would pay the children the same amount as the over 16s so the children would be able to afford food, water and maybe even basic education.
