New reports of mass fainting by maltreated workers have reached the news wires from Cambodia. Nike is now under the spotlight after Puma, H&M and JCPenney. The latest case of fainting involves more than 300 workers at the Sabrina (Cambodia) Garment Mfg. Corporation plant in Cambodia, which makes apparel for Nike. Union officials claim that this was due to exposure to chemicals and poor ventilation. Nike is reportedly investigating the claims as well as alleged violations of workers' rights at another Taiwanese-owned factory in the country. Meanwhile, a member of the political opposition in the Cambodian parliament, Mu Sochua, has reportedly called for a global boycott of Nike because of the incidents. Nike has asked the International Labor Organization Better Factories Cambodia to add the recent events its research into mass faintings. Observers have said that the Sabrina faintings were likely due to exposure to poisonous chemicals or to forced overtime. However, an official of the American Center for International Labor Solidarity, an affiliate of the AFL-CIO, said that Sabrina is known as one of the better companies to work for, with a union and a safety staff. Some oppose the boycott fearing that companies like Nike would take their business to other countries, such as Bangladesh, where safety regulations are more lax.
