There is nothing morally wrong with outsourcing. It's not like these jobs are being lost. They will be done by other people.
Key word here is "illegally".
There’s something morally wrong with it when you use it as an excuse to pay those workers significantly less. As well, jobs likely were lost, outsourced contracts rarely have the same rights, including leave entitlements, for their workers.
Outsourcing usually happens to countries with lower cost of living. Those people get paid less, but their expenses are also much lower.
Outsourcing typically happens to exploited countries with comprador governments who bend over backwards to accommodate foreign capital. Often in places where the IMF has dismantled labor laws as part of their “structural adjustment”.
This is the typical colonial Western attitude. It's also a fantasy. Lots of third world countries managed to climb out of poverty in a few generations thanks to outsourcing.
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
