1/ It’s been almost 27 years since Nike’s co-founder Phil Knight acknowledged the company's products had become synonymous with “slave wages.”

While investigating Nike’s claims about sustainability, we found that workers’ experiences cast doubt on Nike’s commitment to reform. 🧵
2/ Nike says its suppliers pay 1.9X the local minimum wage, excluding overtime, across most of the 1.1M people making its products.

But a payroll sheet for one Cambodian factory reveals few people making that much.
3/ Out of all 3,720 workers at Y&W Garment, just 41 people earned 1.9X the minimum wage of ~$1/hour, even when counting bonuses and incentives. (Many earned a base pay of $204/month, Cambodia’s minimum wage last year.) A section of a payroll ledger for Y&W Garment, a Nike factory in Cambodia. It highlights 20 out of 23 workers earning a base pay of $204 a month, Cambodia’s minimum wage last year.

THREAD: Under a new law, thousands of prisoners in Louisiana have been cut off from ever getting a chance at parole.

Why?

Because an algorithm said so. 1/
2/ The algorithm, called TIGER, focuses on immutable factors from a prisoner’s past — work history, age at first arrest, prior drug convictions — to assess risk of reoffending.

Yet it fails to take into account anything a prisoner has done to rehabilitate themselves.
3/ What’s more, the algorithm removes humans almost entirely from the decision-making process.

If TIGER gives a prisoner a moderate or high risk rating, they are automatically barred from pleading their case before the parole board.

THREAD: Last year, ProPublica started receiving tips from an unusual kind of source: flight attendants.

They said they'd worked on deportation flights for ICE, and they could tell us what it was really like on board. 1/
Most of the flight attendants hadn't knowingly signed up to help deport people. When they took their jobs, they’d expected to fly VIPs to glamorous locales.

Then the airline started working for ICE, and many or most of their passengers were detainees, people in chains. 2/
We spoke with 7 current and former Global Crossing Airlines crew members. Their accounts were consistent with one another and aligned with what’s in legal filings and other records about ICE Air—important because neither GlobalX nor ICE answered any of ProPublica's questions. 3/

1/ Formaldehyde is a chemical that causes an inescapable cancer risk for everyone in America.

It’s in the air we breathe. And it’s in our homes: our couches, our clothes, even babies’ cribs.

So what can you do to reduce your exposure? THREAD 🧵
2/ First, furniture.

Composite wood is a material that essentially contains a mix of wood fibers glued together. The glues are the issue: They can contain formaldehyde that then gets released into the air over time.
3/ One thing you can do is look at an item’s packaging for a label showing it is compliant with the standards set under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Caveat: Compliance does not mean it’s formaldehyde free; it just means emissions are low enough to meet requirements.
