London Male Factory Worker (Ben Acker)
Absolutely not. While shifting jobs overseas to take "advantage" of cheap labor sources and natural resources may save money for business owners, it will only succeed in destroying our economy. By stripping us of our farms/homes, the government forced farmers like me to migrate into cities for employment. We have hit rock bottom, and now they want to take our jobs all over again. Now, we work nearly 12 hours a day for minimal pay, and all the money our factory owners save from our salaries is put towards themselves. NOT towards improving our wages or our working conditions. Still, their greed grows. They wish to move jobs overseas, believing it is the "best solution for our economy". I say to them, HOW? By moving our source of income to other countries, that money will begin circulating in another country's economy. We will slowly dwindle away the money we have earned, and we will no longer be able to purchase products from local businesses. The money we used to pay will cease to circulate, effectively killing our economy. Plus, we already have an abundance of natural resources at our disposal. That is one of the factors that kick-started our Industrial Revolution anyways! So just try to convince me, try to twist my thoughts to believe that giving away my livelihood will help our country!

Women worker in a textile mill (Elise Warren)
ReplyDeleteIt is because of people like you and me that the shifting of jobs overseas should not be enforced. We have endured so much in the past with new changes. that this seems like the last straw. It seems, though, that the majority of the people do not care for our suffering. The idea of cheap goods and labor are blinding them from the truth - that moving jobs overseas will only make our economy and the condition of it's people worse.

ReplyDeleteBoth of you are out of your minds! How could moving jobs across seas be a bad idea? It one of the best ideas that has been shared with me. Think about it in a logistical manner. Jobs overseas will be mass produced and many workers will be paid to work in that country. And even better, the goods will be produced at a very low cost to us. Since the resources are already across the ocean, they don't need to be transported here, which costs a lot of money. In turn, the cost to sell the product in our country will be much cheaper. It will become more affordable to people in our country and the economy will go up because so many people are buying products at a low cost. Also, the working condition now it terrible, so why not try a new area overseas to see that it will probably be better. Overall, the idea of oversea labor is definitely positive for our country to improve our economy.
