Quarter 2- Assignment 2 (Nick DiBiasio- London Male Factory Worker)

I have been working in the factories for a long time now, and yes it has worn on me. Working sixteen hours per day, six days a week in a loud, dusty and dangerous environment has not grown on me or my family. Shipping jobs overseas to take advantage of cheap labor sources is not the best possible solution for our economy. Yes, I hate where I work but think about it, will life overseas be any better? We are humans and shouldn't be forced to move overseas for jobs. A long process of transportation which will probably cost lot's of money will disband everything I know. My family is the only thing I work and live for and sending me overseas, changes everything. Not only is it inhuman but the transportation of us workers will greatly effect our economy. I hope some people understand where us workers are coming from, or life will be even worse.

    I am in the same situation as you are, but I am going to have to disagree. If we shift jobs overseas the food and other products would be cheaper. This would allow us to buy more food and not let our children to starve. Other people who get paid less will now be able to buy things they need.
