Is Wipro Engaging in Discrimination In the United States?

May 21st, 2009 · 5 Comments

This article really caught my eye.

Indian IT service provider Wipro is increasing the number of US and European workers it employs so its customers in the regions will not stop buying from it if protectionism increases.

At the launch of an All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG)in February, designed to improve trade between the UK and India, IT suppliers spoke about the dangers of protectionist economic policies.

Wipro, which employs 97,000, people, said it wanted to increase the number of employees outside India, and it is easier now because there are more available.

Currently, about 8% of its workers are from outside India.

Andy Gallagher, consultant at Compass Management Consulting, said Wipro is not alone in increasing the number of staff it has outside India.

He said certain roles are traditionally provided by staff local to the customer or by people from India.

“The offshore/onshore model, where you fly Indian staff over for a few months at a time,is losing its attractiveness.   Clients are beginning to say they do not get continuity when people come over on 90-day visa.    Also the cost difference between employing local people and flying people from India is reducing.”

There is no job that is America’s God-given right anymore - Carly Fiorina, Jan. 7, 2004, CEO Hewlett-Packard

McCain Shoves Outsourcing Corporate Agenda Down Michigan's throatJohn McCain has one hell of a rude attitude toward Michigan.  McCain is campaigning with Ms. No American has a God given right to a Job ex-CEO of Hewlett Packard Carly Fiorina.  Fiorina promoted offshore outsourcing, fired people right and left, turned Hewlett Packard into a shadow of it’s former glory right in the middle of the last economic recession. 

 Turn to today, Michigan has been decimated by offshore outsourcing, insourcing, insane trade agreements and CEOs who obtain obscene amounts of money for running their companies into the ground, making bad mergers and laying off their workers.  So, what does McCain do?  Try to sell them on the corporate agenda claiming it’s tough talk.  No McCain, it’s the corporate agenda and not policies for the interests of workers, Michigan or the United States of America.

No Corporate Agenda as the Economic AgendaIf it isn’t insulting enough to see a Politician campaign with one of the shining examples of what is wrong with the United States economy - greedy, power driven, short sighted CEOs who have no loyalty to America, their companies or their workers, we get additional propaganda claiming destroying companies right and left is…
