    What precisely is uplifting about an American manufacturer outsourcing blue collar work instead of paying unionized American laborers?

        So if Tata opened a new parts warehouse in Sudan instead of India, because they want to pay workers a dollar a day, would you consider that uplifting, yes or no?

          I empathize that they’re happy to have a job - but at the same time they only have a job because they’re being exploited.

          We hate outsourcing because we can clearly see them choosing cheaper labor overseas instead of paying qualified workers locally.

          They should also hate outsourcing because companies are going to their countries because they are perceived as easily exploitable, will work overly long hours, and be underpaid.
