Nike is the favourite example for critism about sweatshops. In the past, Nike got a lot of negative publicity. Their reaction was denial, lash out at critics,...
Now Nike has an other strategy. They are working together with human rights groups, they have a team that inspects the factories,... Most other multinationals, like Wal-Mart, are doing nothing.
Still, Nike is doing little to the most difficult problems. These are low wages and unionization.
They are making progress but not on underpayment of wages and freedom of association.
But they are one of the few that have taken responsibility for sweatshop labor.

I think sweatshops are still a big problem in the world. Almost all big companies are using factories in third world countries.
You can't blame the companies alone, also the governments of these countries should take action to drive back sweatshops.
