Absolutely correct! But that's not going to stop the Third Way Democrats and other internationalists through their influence in everything that governs and regulates (UN, trade agreements, WTO, governments of countries, etc.) from trying.
I am not communicating fully. There is no intent to "benefit . . . a small number of employees" in the U.S. The intent is to benefit the overwhelming numbers of peoples in all the world -- IMO at the expense of employees in the U.S.
If you read their articles on ndol.org they agree that American job losses is a price that must be paid. On that they agree with conservative "free traders."
The difference is they see it as the road to world socialist government IMO ("social justice, etc."), the conservative "free traders" see it as business and immediate profits, what awaits them in the future?
Who are the ndol.org folks? They are movers and shakers in the Democrat Party. Not all Party leaders agree with them, of course. They are the Clinton wing (nuts). On these matters they have plenty of support from the conservative "free traders" clamoring for "cheap" labor -- that includes "guest workers" by the millions. Labor migration is part of the respective plans both have.
That's an interesting take on it, but I'll need some time to absorb and review.
My knee-jerk however is that it is all about more that merely labor rates. I think this is an oversimplification of real serious issues with doing business in the U.S.
A U.S. corporation that outsources to an overseas employee base is, IMHO, doing so for reasons beyond mere labor rates. The U.S. is chasing firms overseas with a myriad of regulations over and above just the labor cost of the employee.
Some corporations are now finding out in a painful way that outsourcing overseas isn't the fix they thought it was. Dell Computer, for example, is already bringing much of its server support back to the U.S. from India, after finding out that the support they were buying was not up to their quality expectations. It is quite likely that they will also terminate the ordinary desktop support that they've moved over to India as well. In the long run... it's turning out that the outsourced support just isn't working. They will undo it, because their "profit" will depend on it.
