means to underpay workers
You had me until there. What do you consider "underpay"? What if it's
higher than the typical local standard-of-living pay? I know that when the word got out about Nike hiring all these overseas workers, that the workers were
clamoring for these jobs, because they were better conditions and higher pay than the typical local jobs.
Just because someone wants $20/hr to do something in the US, and a guy in India will do it for $3/hr, can you still feel bad if that Indian guy would have gotten $1.50/hr anywhere else? I don't think so. I think what we're seeing is that Americans have been living high on the hog, and the rest of the world has suffered, and that eventually, it'll all sort itself out globally.
