TRENTON – A resolution sponsored by Senator Jeff Van Drew which would call on Congress to enact legislation requiring the publication of a list of companies which are engaged in outsourcing United States jobs to other countries was approved by the Senate today, receiving final approval.
“Investors have a right to know whether the companies they invest in are engaged in the practice of outsourcing American jobs and undercutting the American economy,” said Senator Van Drew, D-Cape May and Cumberland. “By dragging outsourcing into the light of day, and equipping investors with the knowledge of companies’ involvement in the practice, we can bring the strength of the market to bear to sharply reduce outsourcing. Congress must demand that corporations disclose to the public whether they currently outsource jobs, or plan to outsource jobs in the near future, so that we can begin a serious discussion about how to keep American jobs on American soil.”
