Too close to the real thing!

:banghead:

-----------------



http://www.outsourceoutrage.com/

While America has lost 1 million jobs since 2001, employers have been outsourcing hundreds of thousand of jobs to other countries in order to lower their costs. And they've moved millions more to low-cost contractors in the U.S. that provide services on the cheap by paying low wages and providing few or no benefits to employees.

Not only is the Bush Administration not helping the workers and families devastated by these job losses, they think outsourcing is a "good thing" and "a plus for the economy."

But workers, families, and communities who've felt the effects of outsourcing know better.

"It's really hurting the American people . . . . They are strip-mining society."

- Mark Olesen, former software engineer, Austin, TX

"My value as a human being was taken away from me. What is going to happen to all these people who are losing their jobs?"

- Jeraldean Evans, outsourced programmer, Oakland, CA

Hear what other outsourced workers have to say, and tell us your story.

This is not about "us" versus "them." Workers in every country deserve jobs with good pay and benefits and safe working conditions. But the current outsourcing and offshoring trends in the U.S. are hollowing out companies and our economy. These trends are producing greater income disparity, declining opportunity, and growing insecurity for U.S. workers and their families.


And what does 'your' presidential, senatorial, congressional candidate have to say about it?

:shrug:

If you don't know or you aren't sure... then you'd better find out!!

3. HAHAHAHA!!! That's classic Breeze.
Fortunately, I peed before I watched this because OMFG, that's exactly what I'm talking about (even though I could understand what he was saying....as ridiculous as it was).

Oh, and don't you like how after they can't help you, they say, "Is there anything else I can help you with?" ... "Well, thank you for calling XXX company, blah blah blah, and you have a great day." :wtf:

Are they for real!?!?! lol

4. It's sooo aggravating and it could be a lot better by
bringing the jobs back here!! I posted it with you in mind actually! :P

I thought you'd get a kick out of it! :rofl: But seriously, this outsourcing

has to STOP!! At least they could tone it down a bit, don't you think? :grr:

Some of the presidential candidates don't give a rats ass about outsourcing,

at least not where American workers are concerned. With the exception of DK!
