4. Domestic union jobs can indeed be outsourced.
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 10:34 PM by iaviate1
"The seven-union affiliates of Change to Win labor federation have a long-term goal of organizing 50 million workers. What have they done to help achieve that? • Targeted industries that can't be outsourced, including construction, retail, hotels and hospitality, food production, manufacturing, transportation, health care and real estate."

I work for an airline and we have outsourced many of the jobs our union members once did... like fueling, deicing, loading bags, cleaning airplanes, preparing food, building up cargo, etc. We've even hired many other airlines (over 5) to paint their aircraft in our colors and fly under our name! With such a large extent of work being oursourced, including the main product of an airline, who's to say unionized people with jobs that must stay in the US can't be outsourced and their unions busted? It happens all the time.
