Outsourcing gone too far
posted by The Vidiot @ 7:38 AM Permalink This is BY FAR the most ridiculous example of everything that's wrong with globalization.Excerpt: Young’s, the seafood company, plans to ship the prawns from the West Coast of Scotland, where they are caught, on a 12,000-mile, nine-week round trip to Thailand, where they will be hand-peeled by workers earning 25p an hour.Thomas Friedman just peed a little from the excitement.
They will then be shipped back to Scotland before being breaded and packaged as premium “Scottish Island” scampi for British supermarkets.
