DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THE U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE?

You've lost your job because the company you used to work for is outsourcing labor. You pick up the telephone to talk to someone from the company you used to work for and lo and behold, someone from India takes your call.

Now this is bad enough ... however, get this .... companies in India are donating thousands of dollars to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (whose members are some of the largest corporations in the world ... who do most of the outsourcing of jobs that used to be your job). The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is supporting Republican candidates because they know the Republican Party loves their members (who are outsourcing what were American jobs).

At the end of the now widely talked about Think Progress article, there is a list of foreign donors who have sent money to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Now tell me how warm and fuzzy you feel towards the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, its members and the Republican Party.

And the CSC's [Clevelands Secret Club] remarks to the Greater Cleveland Partnership, who is a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce [and our remarks to the Greater Cleveland Partnership's members]: Look GCP, before you get in bed with someone, check them out.

Hell, the mafia gave money to many charities ... but my God, those charities were taking money from people who had blood on their hands.

The CSC's [Clevelands Secret Club] suggestion is to not do business with any of the GCP's members or become a shareholder in any of these companies; however, there are a lot of large corporations in their membership that may surprise you. If you presently do business with (or are a shareholder in) one of the GCP's members, you have to do some soul searching and planning on how to either end that business/shareholder relationship or tell them you don't want them to be in bed with the GCP as long as the GCP is in bed with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Apple Inc. withdrew from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Good for them - We love you and applaud you Apple.
-
GCP and your members ... grow a pair and do the right thing. Students who attend Case Western Reserve and Cleveland State should tell the heads (and Boards) of these schools to get out of bed with the GCP unless the GCP gets out of bed with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
-
Everyone, take a really deep look into the investments, associations, and leadership of all the companies and corporations you do business with, or are anticipating doing business with.
-
Last, don't even think about harassing CSC members and friends. You cannot intimidate us.

BAILOUT BANKS STILL OUTSOURCING JOBS

If this doesn't make you sick and outraged, I don't know what else will.

Excerpt from: "Bailing On US Workers" by John Aidan Byrne

-

"US banks that have taken billions of dollars in taxpayer bailouts are still shipping thousands of jobs overseas.

Earlier this month, Bank of New York Mellon, which received $3 billion in TARP funds, opened its third call center in Pune, India, where it now employs 1,300 people.

Doug Brown, who wrote "The Black Book of Outsourcing," said Bank of America, with $52.5 billion of TARP funds in the kitty, has expanded its India-based payroll to 5 percent of its 301,000 employees in 2009, about 15,000 people.

The moves, which have outraged unions, are 100 percent legal. Congress didn't put into the TARP law any restrictions on shipping jobs overseas.

Citigroup, which got $50 billion in TARP funds plus $300 billion in government guarantees, plowed ahead with a program last fall to add as many as 1,000 call-center employees in the Philippines -- weeks after it got its first round of taxpayer relief.

Representatives for Citigroup and Bank of New York Mellon declined to comment on their outsourcing arrangements. A Bank of America spokesman said the firm has not announced any facility openings outside the US since last year."
