The UN Chamber of Commerce

UN Chamber of of Commerce

"Offshoring is out most important product. "

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donahue has repeatedly promoted the outsourcing of American jobs. Donahue has even said “there are legitimate values in outsourcing” and has vowed to fight any attempts to reduce outsourcing.

The U.S. Chamber President Donahue Said, "There Are Legitimate Values in Outsourcing." In 2004, U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue said, "there are legitimate values in outsourcing -- not only jobs, but work…." [CNN, 2/10/04]

Donahue also Defended Outsourcing of U.S. Jobs, Arguing That Americans Are "Short of Skills." Defending outsourcing in 2004, Donohue said, "The big fundamental issue that we need to understand is we are short of skills in this country." [CNNFN, 5/3/04]

Donohue also said the unemployed should “Stop Whining”. “Donohue acknowledged the pain for people who have lost jobs to offshoring - an estimated 250,000 a year, according to government estimates. But pockets of unemployment shouldn't lead to "anecdotal politics and policies," he said, and people affected by offshoring should "stop whining." [Associated Press, 7/5/2004]

Donahue added  "The chamber's message is clear: The US must be able to source around the world to stay competitive in the global economy and the business community will fight any attempts by our government to restrict outsourcing," Thomas Donohue, the chamber's president, told a news conference.”
