Lets think about this for a minute.
Say you are under 40, have worked for an American Company for close to 20 years and the boss man comes and tells you that the company is moving to India. Now you are low on the company roll, drive a fork truck or do general cleaning, perhaps do security for the plant.
If you were told that the company would buy your home or pay off your lease to your apartment and move your family to an apartment in India at no cost to you, what would you do.??
Would you take the kids out of school, get 300 inoculations to move there at your rate of hourly pay ????
Difficulty's here, you and family do not know the language, the traditions are very strange and the crime rate is 500% of the place you now live.
Upside, at your American wage even if minimum wage is considered huge in India, one can live like a king making $400.00 a week.
For a 5 year contract with the company you, and family can have the time of your lives. Have an adventure that few of us get.
Now, if for any reason you wish to stay homebound for the family, then you may face hardship and strife. Why not get out there and see the world if you have a chance to. I do not understand why Americans that leave the main land are looked down as traitors.
If Hubby came home and told me at our age the company was moving to Kenya and we could follow it, I would have my bags packed in an hour. If he told me that with the move his pay was cut in half, I would still be packing.
Unlike the Brits we have become a society that clings to our land, afraid to to leave it, there are few amenity from governments over seas and to leave the comfort of America is very difficult. But, what does 5 years out of ones life to explore the world harm anyone.???
A good many non union company's will take the workers with them if they wish to go. Not so the Union company's.
