When I was at Union Theological Seminary, a fellow student of mine was a founder of a nonprofit, Educating for Justice, which pointed out the injustices at Nike factories in Third World countries. (You can see their documentary here.)

I admit I was ignorant up until then, that workers in Third World countries make the clothes and products we buy at cheap prices, in terrible, debilitating conditions, for pittance wages.

So far it looks like Gap and Walmart are the major holdouts.

I was happy to see many of my favorite retailers, including H&M, sign on to the agreement.
