Who is Marc Kasky and what does he stand to gain?
Mr. Kasky is a California citizen who was disturbed at what he believed were deceptions carried out by the Nike Corporation in a public relations campaign. The PR campaign was to counter accusations by anti-sweatshop activists that working conditions in Nike’s overseas plants were inhumane and not as Nike presented them. Kasky will receive no financial reward if the case goes to trial and Nike is found guilty. At the time of filing the suit, Mr. Kasky worked for Fort Mason Foundation, an unrelated non-profit organization in San Francisco. We are unaware of Mr. Kasky having any potential financial gain from the case, regardless of the outcome. Mr. Kasky, age 58, has filed two previous lawsuits against corporations under California law.
