Dear All

Hope you are all well... I heard an interesting piece of information and was wondering if anyone could confirm that it is true or false? Apparently, Nike pay Tiger Woods more money than their 14,000 Indonesian workers put together?

I just wanted to check this out before I start "indoctrinating" my students!!! But I thought it was quite a good way of highlighting first world/third world inequality...

Sorry to spout boring details if this is old news!!!

Ciao
