Do you think its right for Big Companies in America to Outsource Work out to Foreign Countries When this?
Answers:
No I don't think that it is right for any 1st world nation to outsource to a 3rd world nation. For the longest time in Canada they would have little stickers/tags with the red maple leaf on the merchandise. This meant that it was made in Canada. Provided that the quality is good, I go out of my way to buy this even if it is a dollar or two more because this is what keeps our jobs at home.
No, I do NOT think it is right. But, obviously no one cares what I think.
It is a tough issue to address. You get the domino effect. If one company does it, their competitor's have to do it to remain competitive. If the jobs stay here, consumers pay more for the products. I can understand if companies are trying to reduce costs. However, I think it is unethical if they do it because of easier labor laws and regulations. Everybody should have the right to work in a safe and reasonably comfortable environment and not have to work unreasonably long hours - that is most definitely not right.
How else can US companies compete with manufacturers in China, India, Mexico, Africa, Korea, etc? Would you prefer the company go out of business? Are you willing to pay about 50% more for clothing, electronics, etc?
Get real ... we're in a world economy.
It is a matter of economics not morality. You are asking about morality "do you think it is right [just, etc.]." (For morality go to the Religion forum elsewhere on Banswer.com .)
It would be wrong for a company not to do this if it made economic sense. That would be taking money away from the owners (stockholders) and giving it to the employees. It is the obligation of every corporation in a capitalist economy to maximize the return on the owner's money. Incidentally, some of these stockholders might be former employees who are now retired. So, should we take money from them to give to current workers?
It is the obligation of all workers to keep educating themselves and to keep up their job skills so that they can make any required changes if their job is outsourced.
