He states that in 1988‚ of the 17‚000 violations reported in that year only 12 were prosecuted. While this statistic is very alarming about the poor labor conditions in Indonesia‚ it has no proof as to where these violations were originating from. It is very likely that some of the violations were coming out of the factories that Nike had under contract
