British Athletes and Games volunteers will wear the Olympic branded gear which is being manufactured for Adidas in sweatshop conditions in Indonesia. Organizers of Summer Games are claiming the games as the most ethical ever.
The glorious event of 2012 London Olympics is approaching fast and lots of preparations are already going on! According to an investigation conducted by The Independent, workers are undergoing violations of worker rights in Indonesia.
For the production of Adidas’s Olympics shoes and clothing, nine local factories are given the contracts. Adidas is the official sportswear partner of London 2012 and British team. On the other hand, Germany company, which is manufacturing Stella McCartney designed kit for the British athletes is expecting to make £100m in the Olympics lines.

Moreover, they are also undergoing verbal and physical abuse. They are forced for working overtime and get punished for not attaining production targets.
