Story.
Any company that outsources it's operations to another country should have a tax bill of 900% of its profits imposed upon it, and its directors should be liable to find the money if the company cannot.
If it wants to create new jobs in India then yeah, that's brilliant, but not at the expense of UK jobs. Companies need to be forced to have a moral responsibility for the places in which they are based, because profit is the only consideration they have, and that (although fair in the company's eyes) is wrong.

For those of us who already condemn the endless profiteering bent of modern hegemonic corporate enitities, this documentary (featuring contributions from figures both within and without the corporate arena) will leave you cold as to the extent to which corporations will go to achieve their singular aim of control and ownership and sheer avarice.
I downloaded it from P2P filesharing but here is a site for further info on the documentary...

"sod peoples well beings and lets just make profits"
fair enough a company is there to make profit, but how can companies complain they have had a 10% fall in revenue when they still make billions of profit yearly
as i said companies are there to make profit, but not necessarily should they do it at the expense of the well being of their workers in the UK
im giving it to the people who just got shafted out of a job and are having trouble getting another one
Because a company should not be allowed to put people out of work purely in order to increase profits.
If the company is going bust then that is one thing, doing it to make more money is quite another.
I have no problem with them creating jobs in Asia, I have problems with them putting people out of work to do so.
Yes. It is. How observant of you.
It is the government's job to protect its people. And that extends to protecting their employment from money-grabbing scum who should be nailed by the wrists to a tree.
by having workers
im not saying everything should be shared equally among the workers, not a comunist proposal here
but would norwich union still be in business to be able to cut costs by moving jobs, if it wasnt for the work force that built them up in the first place
