Atlas City Project

A corporation cuts jobs in your community and moves them overseas—and nobody seems to notice. Hardworking people are left jobless, but outside your town, it doesn't seem to make a ripple. Meanwhile, corporations keep shipping jobs to wherever they can find the cheapest labor and fewest safety regulations, and Republicans in Congress keep blocking laws that would keep jobs here. Soon enough, you realize that if you hadn't seen it for yourself, you wouldn't know what had happened.

That's what Working America designed Job Tracker to fight. And it's why we're asking for your help.

Job Tracker already includes information from multiple government agencies showing every company we could find that's exported jobs, but we know that's just the tip of the iceberg. We need you to tell us what corporate bad guys are missing in your community.

Here's what you do. Go to Job Tracker and enter your zip code to pull up a map of companies that have exported jobs from your area. Is anything missing? If you know of a company that's outsourced jobs and it isn't listed, click this link to tell us about it. Once we've substantiated your report, we'll add it to Job Tracker.

Corporations have gotten really good at slashing American jobs without attracting widespread public notice. Together, we can make it harder for them to hide, and easier for us to pressure Congress to crack down on abuses like tax loopholes for outsourcers.

In solidarity,

Working America, AFL-CIO

P.S. Help spread the word. Tell your friends about Job Tracker, and encourage them to report missing companies, too.

apparently that website tells you about more than that

i cant believe how many OSHA violations there have been in vegas

I can. Safety slows progress. We use to only follow the strict rules when we knew someone was coming to check on us.

AFL-CIO means - American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations

It's part of my required studies for becoming a Union Electrician. They are the Liaison's between the Union Labor organizations. Kinda like the umbrella concept would be used to communicate between the different RBE city organizations.

Outsourcing jobs is a result of the NAFTA agreements of 1994 signed by George H W Bush and effectively broke down trade barriers between Canada Mexico and the United States.

When looking at this picture it's important to remember that you are looking at two parties of people struggling for control in a monetary based system. You are watching the rich (mega-corporations mostly but also including smaller corps) versus the poor or working class (Unions and ethnic voting blocs). The two will NEVER reach a happy medium due to the need for monetary gain and greed. As long as societies based on class exist there will also never be true equality.

Picking a side in this issue is futile and will only lead to anger and frustration.

Just some knowledge for you guys =)
