Thousands of Indonesian Nike workers have marched on the US embassy in Jakarta to protest against planned production cuts.
Workers at Nike-contracted factories expect the cutback could cost 7,000 jobs. Around 4,000 workers carried placards and demanded that Nike compensate laid-off workers.
Mr Rustam Aksam, president of the Indonesian Textile, Garment and Leather Worker's Union, says "Nike has no social responsibility. They are just exploiting the workers, getting their profit and then leaving."
Nike has confirmed it will terminate a contract with Doson Indonesia in November.
But the company says it will continue to work with 47 other factories which employ 123,000 workers.
It has offered Doson workers continued medical care, loans and training.
But it has called on Doson Indonesia to provide other compensation.
Mr Jeff DuMont, general manager of Nike Indonesia, says "We understand the concerns of Doson Indonesia workers and we have emphasised to the management of Doson Indonesia our expectation that they meet all their obligations to the employees in the event that lay-offs occur."
