  1. Speak out about offshoring @ talktothecamera.com on Andy Grove Speaks out on Offshore Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    Sending our jobs offshore and bringing in guest workers on visas is making a tremendous negative impact on the job market in the United States. It doesn't just affect tech workers any more. Teachers, pharmacists, engineers, truck drivers, pharmacists, call centers, etc.

    If you live in the State of Missouri and call a 1-800 number to check on your food stamps or welfare benefits, you will be connected to India since the state outsourced their welfare call center. Unemployment is so high in Indiana, they needed to upgrade their computer system. In October this year, they awarded the 15.2 million dollar contract to an Indian company instead of putting Americans in the U.S. to work.

    Put your concerns, rage, disagreement, etc. to video tape and send it to me. For details go to http://www.talktothecamera.com

    Better yet, host a talktothecamera event in your city.

  2. Backlash ... TalkToTheCamera.com on CIO Magazine On Offshore IT · · Score: 1

    I guess you could say our TalkToTheCamera.com project is part of the backlash companies will face over their illegal use of H1B and L1 Visas and their irresponsible outsourcing of American jobs overseas. This is a collaborative effort between concerned people and videographers around the United States to create a documentary on this subject. It will will show the frustration and impact this has had to so many people in so many different professions ... not just IT workers. The http://www.talktothecamera.com website just went online yesterday.
