twitterFree speech case settled
Friday, Sept. 12, 2003 | 10:59 a.m.
BEAVERTON, Ore. -- Nike Inc. agreed to pay $1.5 million to a worker rights group to settle the commercial free speech case that it took to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Marc Kasky, a San Francisco labor activist, had sued the Beaverton-based athletic shoe and clothing giant, accusing it of false advertising for claiming the company was protecting labor rights at overseas contract factories which make footwear for Nike.
The California Supreme Court ruled that Kasky could sue Nike on the false advertising claim, prompting the company to ask for a review by the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court heard oral arguments, then dismissed the case in June, leaving the decision to California.
