Its their turn, so to speak. that is how they see it.

Jobs have been written into international services agreements, as an entitlement if they can be the winning low bidders.

Their competitive advantage is low costs. That is their argument. Under neoliberalism, thats good, profits can be higher if wages are lower.

Americans need to understand the GATS and TiSA. Soon.

Like, it seems, within the next few days. Looking at the schedule on the wikileaks site. It looks like its almost over.

carve outs have to go in before the agreement is finalized. We need to protect essential public services or they will be blocked and turned into entitlements for corporations.

And that means all those jobs may be globalized. Depending on who can win them by tendering the lowest bids.
