Stop the Offshoring of Good California Jobs
The current "jobless" economic recovery has done little to help working people in California. Hundred of thousands of jobs in the U.S. have disappeared over the past three years, and unemployed workers are out of work for longer than they have been in decades.
Retailers, banks, airlines, hotels, hospitals, and government agencies are all eliminating jobs in California and offshoring them to other countries where workers earn lower wages under harsher working conditions. A UC Berkeley Haas Business School study estimates over 14 million service sector jobs in the United States at risk of being offshored.
Governor Schwarzenegger has vetoed numerous efforts to stop the offshoring of California jobs. Read the California Labor Federation response to these vetoes
