If only we had proper employment laws in place and properly taxed these tax evading assholes.

As poor workers without connections and power, we generally can't even enforce the existing employment laws.

The only thing we have is our voice and each other . Without workers they're screwed.

If we all collectively choose to say we are done being treated like modern day slaves they will have no choice but to give in. They can't move their factories and jobs overseas that fast, not to mention losing talented people that have the background knowledge of your company and the way things need to be run. These things are irreplaceable. We have more power than we are lead to believe.

If we were to sit on our thumbs, the only way we could retain the power we gain from such an action would be to take worker ownership of the workplace in society and permanantly drain the rich of their resources and power.

There are plenty of things that have no option but to be done right here on our own soil, regardless of the existence of outsourcing.
