INDONESIAN PLANT THAT MAKES NIKE SHOES GIVES WORKERS RAISE

          A "wage dispute" at an Indonesian factory that
     manufactures Nike shoes was solved Saturday, with employees
     gaining a 10.7% pay increase, according to an AP report in
     the WALL STREET JOURNAL.  Factory officials spent the
     weekend meeting with union reps regarding the wage dispute. 
     Nike was "monitoring the talks" but wasn't involved in the
     negotiations. It was the second protest in a week against PT
     Hardaya Aneka Shoe Industry, which owns the factory that
     makes shoes under contract for Nike.  Nike Dir of PR Jim
     Small said that the settlement was a "relief," and "denied"
     that the workers weren't being paid minimum wage.  Small
     said the strikers were "already" making more than the
     minimum wage but were "upset" because they expected a larger
     pay raise "than they were initially given."  Small said that
     the deal of a 10.7% pay increase "gave them the pay raise
     they had been seeking" (AP/WALL STREET JOURNAL, 4/28).
