Here is a list of companies we've confirmed are "Exporting America." These are U.S. companies either sending American jobs overseas, or choosing to employ cheap overseas labor, instead of American workers.

It's time for Unions, State and Local governments to withdraw money that is invested in corporations that have engaged in outsourcing jobs. Apartheid was brought to its knees when American corporations were forced to stop doing business in South Africa. We can do the same thing here. Publicize the names of the corporations and the products they sell, let people know they are supporting an imoral unethical enterprise when they buy these products and services.
There is no solution to outsourcing. It's unavoidable. Companies survive to maximize profit for shareholders. Unless we stop being a capitalist country, otherwise, this can't change.
Its wrong to weaken the united states. You don't have to agree with me my friend. We must stand and work with what we have here, building. I do not and will not ever agree with giving away jobs from US. I don't care why or how its justified. We are selling out and giving away. The fabric of what has made us strong is going. Out sourcing is ONE cause. We need to generate a better product and compete. We need to make cloths, to farm more, to manufacture and to rebuild and to compete in world markets, We need to stop consuming and sell. American labor is what made this country, not china, or japan labor.
It will be difficult to compete. The companies didnt outsource just for profit. They also cant compete in the international market if they produce goods with expensive american labor. Maybe if we produced so much that it was cheaper it might work. I dont know how exactly to do that.
I cant quite agree with that. Whats wrong with companies trying to cut cost? I understand it is bad for us here but it is natural for them to employ the cheapest labor they can find. We cannot force them to use expensive labor and make them less competitive while china makes cheaper goods. This problem will exist until other countries catch up. How many people are willing to pay more for something that is made in USA? If they dont, the companies that use expensive american labor will incur losses and die. More jobs will be lost.
Thank you we need these jobs back. Three years ago or more...
Good find, I bookmarked it! :)
