Its important for people today to realize the conditions they have at work today are largely due to the union movement of the early 20th century. Hopefully the same movement occurs in places like China and India which will balance the disparity of wages between the countries and eventually bring jobs back to our shores.
(In fact,we should encourage unions in other countries.)

China will never allow unions; the reason they are a great place to out-source work is because their people are slaves, and things like “safe work environment” or “environmental impact” are irrelevant to the government there. India is only in the picture because they speak English; while they have a growing middle class, the country on the whole has many problems of a developing country; unions in India must keep in mind that call center jobs can be moved to English-speaking parts of east or west Africa if the Indians try to make demands.
