Stop Offshoring
Tuesday, October 10, 2006
Americans aren't the only ones being hurt by offshoring. This article talks about Australian workers' fight against offshoring.
Australian Workers' Union national secretary Bill Shorten had a good quote: "The problem is that if you can't get someone to be the CEO of a bank, you pay them more money... If you can't get someone to work as a teller in a bank, then they'll want to send the job overseas."
Furthermore, he adds, "Many of the CEOs in charge won't be here in five or 10 years' time when we see the consequences of their actions."
It looks likes American companies don't have a monopoly on greedy, short-sighted, and stupid CEOs.
