Saden,

I don't know that there are any "universally known labor laws." If you wanted to list all universally accepted labor laws, I'm not sure that you would come up with any list whatsoever. But, I don't believe that corporations should run roughshod over laborers abroad. I just don't know where the line should be drawn.

Dmek,

I believe that outsourcing does create unemployment. However, you shouldn't make decisions solely based on the fact that there is a tragedy of sorts taking place. Decisions about free trade should be made with an eye towards the consequences of those decisions. I don't think we can fight outsourcing effectively; it's simply the result of a new world economy. It's sad, but true IMO.
