HeadingNorth Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm not sure what you're saying..in my example no jobs have been lost due to outsourcing... In your example, nothing has been outsourced to India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomataheeed Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 In your example, nothing has been outsourced to India. The role ( or job ) has...but the affected people moved onto another vacancy internally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The role ( or job ) has...but the affected people moved onto another vacancy internally. In that case, there are people out of work who would otherwise be in work. That was exactly my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 That doesn't necessarily follow.... Indeed it does. If the people who used to do job X are now doing job Y because job X has gone to India, then people who would otherwise have been hired to do job Y (or job X), are still unemployed.

In a previous job one of my roles was outsourced..I stayed at the company and carried on with my other role...the company would not have employed anyone else to do the first role..outsourcing cost no jobs...

You're contradicting yourself. Your first sentence says that someone else was employed to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not have employed anyone specifically to do it...it went to another place in a company reorganisation which was just that..no jobs lost throughout..sorry if I wasn't clear..

espadrille Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 A quick read between the lines has just proved once again that Wednesday1 has ignored facts just to get another con dem bashing thread online... Its your sixth in as many days.... you should have a loyalty card or something. Quite simply its not Birmingham City Council who are doing the redundancies its Crapita. They are in charge of the IT service through a weak "joint venture" which is generally a load of nonesense. They will call the shots. They will make the decisons. They have decided to ship the work abroad. You will find that nearly any government contract which Crapita has on their books will be the same. If they can export it they will. Once you have a signed contract passing the buck there is nothing the government can do about it until the contract expires. Its thanks to Labour's trigger happy approch to outsourcing over the years we are now stuck with a load more potential problems like this one. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espadrille Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 ...makes the Sheffield Lib Dem Council budget that was set in March look absolutely brilliant. No need to outsource jobs to India for Sheffield.They managed to keep redundancies down to a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
