Sweatshops Used by Converse

Working conditions?
What products are made in these sweatshops?
During this project, I learned that although Converse are stylish and trendy, a lot of people suffer just to make one pair of shoes.
Mainly women work in these Indonesian sweatshops, with little to no benefits at all. They are paid fifty cents per hour, often called names, slapped and hit, they get shoes thrown at them, and when they do not meet their daily quota, theyare forced to stand out in the burning sun for hours as punishment.
The main product made in these sweatshops are Converse's signature product, Chuck Taylor sneakers.
The Industrial Revolution affected working conditions by forming the basis of modern day working conditions such as wages, benefits, etc.
accusations against converse
When allegations rose against Converse about physically and mentally abusing workers in sweatshops, Converse ignored the allegations and continued using sweatshops.
An alternative for sweatshops would be to open more factories in America, which would also help unemployment rates.
Concerned..?

As an American consumer and fan of Converse sneakers, I am now more concerned with the way my clothes are made. If people have to suffer to make your clothes and products, is it really worth it?

Converse
by Nike
At some point or another, we've probably all owned a pair of Chuck Taylor's. They've been one of the most popular shoe brands for decades. From the comfort to the trendy style, Converse has it going on. But when it comes to the way their shoes are made, would customers be happy?
Where are the Converse sweatshops located?
These are a pair of standard high-top white Converse All-Stars. They look good, but how did they get that way?
The sweatshops used by Converse are located in Indonesia.
