As tech jobs go offshore, Teamsters devise new strategies By Mark Gruenberg
The unions aren't the only ones who realize the potential of enlisting the IT workers. So does one job exporter: IBM. In a conference call last March involving its human resources people, obtained by WashTech and Alliance@IBM, the company's Director of Global Employee Relations, Tom Lynch, was blunt.
'Those of us who track union campaigns realize unions rarely have success in saying you need to unionize to get more money,' Lynch said. 'Issues like dignity and justice and fairness, those sort of gut issues, tend to raise or strike an emotional chord... Being told that it's not that your job is going away, but that it's moving and you're going to be put out of work as a result of that certainly raises those kind of dignity issues.'------------------------------------------- posted 7:00 AM :: reference link ::
