Without controlling legislation and no union, the drain of tech jobs will just keep on keepin on. Become vocal for an IT union. It's the best solution. Ask any electrician, pipe fitter, truck driver... -drl

Everything but nursing (doctors can do most of their thing, given good nursing staff, by remote) and pillaging the company that made you CxyzO will be offshore soon. ---- Sometime you the windshield, sometime you the bug...
Post #109,679 by orion 7/15/03 12:06:00 AM Reply	Nursing Actually they have a problem in the Nursing Industry like the IT industry, the hiring of H1B Visa Workers for less pay than US Citizen Workers. My wife is a nurse and it was in one of her Nursing magazines as a problem that Nurses face. Not outsourcing to another country, but just as bad as they lose their jobs to cheaper labor.

Hospitals can cut the numbers or RNs and increase the number of LPNs and make life difficult for the RNs but that's about it. Off-shore nurses have to pass the same tests as the natives.
