On Campus: Adidas responds to labor allegations

On Thursday, Adidas sent information to UW-Madison in response to allegations that it refused to pay severance money to workers at a closed apparel factory in Indonesia. Adidas is UW-Madison?s exclusive uniform provider. Adidas contends that the factory, PT Kizone, was illegally closed and abandoned by its owner, not by Adidas, and it occurred more than six months after Adidas placed its last order.
