New: After moving manufacturing to the developing world to save on labor, Nike and other apparel brands are shifting employment in their Indonesian supply chain away from high-wage parts of the country and into less-developed areas. propub.li/4r5z5SM
For @Oregonian and @propublica: Nike says most workers in its contract factories make nearly double the minimum wage. In Indonesia, workers told me they made the minimum wage, or a little bit more.

An anonymous source tells me the chances of Tiger Woods parting ways with #Nike is greater than ever. The most likely landing spot for Tiger is @on_running in a deal that would see Tiger take an equity stake. Roger Federer left Nike for an equity deal with @on_running in 2018. 👀
