UW-Madison expects to receive an official response from Adidas Thursday to a Worker Rights Consortium report that details how an Indonesian factory with ties to the company shut down its facility without paying workers a year?s worth of wages. According to the 26-page report, 2,700 of the factory?s workers were not paid around 3.8 million dollars after the factory owner fled the country. Those workers made clothing for several apparel companies, including Adidas, which has a contract to provide equipment to UW-Madison sports teams and make commercial Badger gear.
