最早搞outsource 的几个公司的初衷是对付强大的union. 并非全为竞争。如ATT,当时
是独家垄断。GM虽非垄断,也差不多。只不过后来outsource lost control. Not many
people understand this. Just like some companies, they don't want to hire
old people, but they can not say so because it is political in-correct. They
may gave you a different reason, but every one understand the real reason.
In this regard, the stratergy works. The union is weakening everyday.
You also need to see that O8 is side with union. So, the union could get
stronger from now on.
