Union Job Out-Sourcing

Paper Summary:

This paper describes the growing corporate trend of outsourcing jobs to third world countries in the never ending chase for higher profits and cheaper labor. The paper also describes the social and economic costs of outsourcing and cites research showing that continued outsourcing means the continued wreckage of the American middle class and the distortion of the global economy.

From the Paper:

"In recent years, the outsourcing of union jobs has emerged as a disturbing new trend affecting millions of middle-class workers everywhere. As a result of this devastation, the U.S. manufacturing sector and the permanent loss of millions of high-wage, good benefit, middle-class jobs, are now threatened with extinction (Gibson, 2004). Service jobs are affected, as well as high paying, professional and technical career opportunities due to the growing off-shoring movement. Although corporate America has already moved most of the high-paying manufacturing jobs overseas, even minimum wage jobs are becoming out-sourced."
