- While I was reading "Fight For Fair Treatment of Workers: Don't Buy Nike", I found that the argument was that workers weren't getting paid enough and were mistreated. They were paid only $1.25 a DAY. That's only 2 meals a day of chicken, beans, and rice. I think that that's unfair because you really can't provide for your family with that kind of paying job. Plus if you're children or even you have medical problems, that's even MORE money. Like seriously, I really learned that Nike can give contracts to LeBron James and Tiger Woods worth millions of dollars, but can't provide for workers. That's really upsetting to me.
After reading "The Sweatshop", I had notice that the argument is that the narrator is struggling to keep herself focus on her job. The narrator considers themselves as a machine working in a factory. They also describe themselves as not having feeling and thoughts. They were both different from one another because in the poem it's someone expressing themselves about workers and in the article it's basic facts about a companies work environment. After reading the articles and then the poem I could connect to both of them.
