Prison Labor is Industry’s “Best Kept Secret in Outsourcing” and What Has Killed Your Job


There’s “free trade.” There’s “fair trade.” And then there’s what’s really happening.
The realities of globalization have made the price of labor somewhere between rock bottom and worthless.
Since the days of NAFTA, the WTO and a flood of cheap Chinese goods, major corporations – American-based and all the rest — have offshored production, taking advantage of virtual slave labor and the only edge that this kind of competition brings.
But now, American companies are taking advantage of something better than low-wage offshore labor – straightforward prison labor may be the best of both worlds for mega-corporations.
Don’t think they see it that way?
Now they are proud of it. Just see this promotional video
