I have problems with off-shoring, jobs that used to be in one country, but have been outsourced to another country for bottom line business reasons. Speaking only for the USA, but I get the feeling that is is happening elsewhere. This country has lost a lot of jobs in many industries, mainly because industries have decided to find places where they can hire people for less, pay less in taxes, not have a lot of governmental regulations to contend with. All of this without regard for the workers in this country who will be unemployed. I am sure this is some of what is happening to the kiltmaking industry in Scotland, I try as much as I possibly can to buy products from companies that do not outsource, this is fast becoming an almost impossible task.
I do agree with those who have said that truth in labelling is the best thing, so that we know where and maybe who the object was manufactured by. Stepping down from small soapbox. :-x :-x
