Unions Welcome Release of GAO Study into Offshore Outsourcing Trend Business Wire
Offshore outsourcing of U.S. jobs is a growing trend that cannot be ignored, according to a final report released today by the General Accounting Office (GAO). The GAO plans at least four additional studies in the coming months to further investigate this issue.
The GAO got involved after two Seattle-based labor unions, SPEEA-IFPTE and WashTech/CWA requested congressional action and research into the explosive new trend of high-end manufacturing and service job moving overseas.
'This study is a good first step,' said Charles Bofferding, executive director of SPEEA. 'It recognizes that outsourcing is growing and a troubling trend for our workers and our country.'------------------------------------------- posted 3:16 PM :: reference link ::
