sarah d on 13 Dec 10This article is about the United States outsourcing manufacturing jobs to Mexico. Some companies in El Paso are also thinking of outsourcing to Juarez. At the same time, there have been more than 2500 killings due to drug issues, forcing thousands of residents to flee and businesses to close. The stakeholders are the retail businesses and the residents forced to find safety somewhere else. Assembly line workers, being paid $1.60-$2.00 an hour are also stakeholders in this situation. The system of outsourcing jobs, has created violence as well as low standards of living for the assembly-line workers. The issue at hand is how globalization and cultural diversity changed the way business is done. By outsourcing jobs, businesses are willing to accept higher profits, even with bad working atmospheres and internal tension.
