Sneakers with Soul? No Sweat.

Now you can walk down the street without stepping on the worker who made your shoes. These sneakers come with a revolutionary innovation -- a labor content disclosure form. You’re reading it right now! This card provides you with information about wages and benefits of the union workers who produced this shoe. We challenge the rest of the sneaker industry to do the same. In fact, we dare them to.

All No Sweat shoemakers are represented by the Indonesian trade union SPSI, TSK (Confederation of Indonesian Employees Unions, Textile, Clothing & Leather).

For more detailed information, including an independent audit report, click here for the PT Bata source page.  Comprehensive information will be posted as it continues to become available.

(based on a 40 hour work week)

The take home wage figure for the average paid worker at the union shop that produces our sneakers is 1,135,000 rupiah a month, or about $125 dollars US, including
a transportation allowance and a rice purchase allowance based on the size of the workers’ family.   This is significantly higher than the regional minimum wage.  All employees receive 100% health insurance coverage and 80% for family members, maternity, shift allowances, holiday bonuses, and other benefits not calculated into the wage figure.
