Join the NWU's Campaign to Oppose Offshoring
The NWU is responding to the rapidly growing trend to outsource high-tech and professional jobs to foreign countries. The offshoring of this work directly threatens the livelihoods of many members of the National Writers Union, other writers, and American high-tech workers and professionals. The export of these jobs also threatens the economic and personal security of tens of millions of Americans.
