This business of importing cheap labor and exporting customer service jobs overseas could be stopped by Congress, and SHOULD be stopped by Congress.
Penalize corporations via the tax code to the point where it costs more to engage in this practice than it does to employ an American.
Customer service jobs in particular could be great way to increase employment as stay at home moms, the elderly, and welfare cases could perform this work from their houses with today’s technology.
Instead hundreds of thousands of people in India and the Philippines are doing customer service for corporations like ATT and American Express.
There is no IT job that cannot be learned through on the job training.
NOT A SINGLE FOREIGNER SHOULD TAKE AN AMERICAN JOB.
Push for the repeal of the 1965 Immigration Act and the removal of all the ‘alphabet soup’ guest worker programs that it enabled.
Then watch who tries to defend its existence when given evidence of unchecked (and uncheckable) fraud.
Honestly, that gets high marks from me.
I agree with you.
I don’t like to lower the charge to this, but it’s simply corporate greed. It can be small business greed as well.
I want healthy businesses, but if that health is at the cost of making workers ill, no way.
I do respect management / ownership. Workers have to be respected too.
Amen.
