Outsourcing

With word that JP Morgan Chase plans to outsource thousands of jobs overseas to India, people are getting angry. Blogger News Network:

....Coming on the heels of AIG’s bountiful 165 million bonuses to employees is the revelation that yet another bank bailout, JP Morgan Chase, is going to spend 400 million to outsource thousands of jobs to India.....
.....According to Jonathan Riskind of the Columbus Dispatch, Congresswoman Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (D) of Ohio, along with 41 other Congressmen, all Democrats, including Rep. Barney Frank, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, have sent a letter to Jamie Dimon, the chief executive and president of JP Morgan Chase, demanding answers to Chase’s plan to spend 400 million to outsource thousands of jobs overseas to India....

Shame on Chase. With thousands of Americans out of work, they plan to send our jobs overseas.

The outsourcing of jobs is not just related to Chase. If you want to order a subscription to the Columbus Dispatch, you'll more than likely be sent to a call center in Manila, Philippines. No wonder the Dispatch's circulation has decreased. The Dispatch calls itself a hometown newspaper?
