The Economic Times reports on the latest saga in the outsourcing debate. "A group of 35 laid-off IT workers in the US are suing the US government in a class-action suit, demanding unemployment benefits on the same scale as their counterparts from the manufacturing industry.
if it goes to trial instead, a verdict in favour of the workers will open up the sluice gates for thousands more of such claims. And a beleaguered government could in that case start looking at ways to cut down on its expenses on providing such benefits – which in turn may mean policies and legislation against the practice of sending jobs to India and other countries."
