Employees in Los Angeles Protest against Outsourcing

Recently, I had written a post titled "Did Outsourcing Raise Level of Wages? where I mentioned about the impact of outsourcing on wages. It seems that the debate has been intensified. Thousands of county employees gathered outside the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration to protest against low wages and outsourcing of work. They believe that outsourcing has affected their wage structure.

Members of Service Employees International Union Local 660 marched up and down Temple Street with slogans and posters. The union represents about 46,000 county employees. The union's contract is set to expire at the end of the month. However, the employees expect that both sides will agree to a new contract before the expiry of existing contract.
