Nike agrees $1m overtime payment for Indonesian workers

Sportswear group Nike has agreed compensation in a dispute with workers in Indonesia over unpaid overtime.

The company will pay $1m (£650,000) to about 4,500 workers at a PT Nikomas plant in Serang, Banten.

The workers union that brought the case to Nike said in a statement that 593,468 hours of overtime went unpaid over the last two years.

The union said it hopes this will set a precedent for factories across the country — via redwolf.newsvine.com
