Re: MIDRANGE-JOBS Digest, Vol 5, Issue 184

You right Joe

When Corporate executives outsource job, cut health benefits, bail on pension plans or slash workers to boost stock value they bring up the "Bogey Man": Globalization. They claim they are forced into these positions by competition from overseas. However, in the same breath they fight any attempts to curb some of the practices that cause unfair trade. It isn't capitalism that is to blame it is how some executives game the system. Most of this is a scam fortunately not everyone drank the kool aide.
