The Outsourcing Report – Sweatshop Warrior
Charlie Kernaghan, head of the National Labor Committee and long-time anti-sweatshop activist in New York shows us the impact of outsourcing on working people around the world. Working Americans from Illinois and North Carolina see their counterparts from Saipan, Bangladesh, and Salvador and find out how their employers are waging a race to the bottom. www.archive.org Link Media, Inc.
Okay, I’ll comment.
This is sobering because the prime argument advanced by advocates of globalization is that it will create jobs for poor people in Third-World countries. But it appears that globalization actually hurts everyone. Ricardo showed that it was cheaper for England to import wine from Portugal, and it was cheaper for Portugal to import wool from England instead of making its own. When countries support their own economies, everyone wins.
Why am I the only to comment?
Great investigation Kernaghan.
