From HoustonChronicle.com - Uproar grows on moving jobs overseas:

The threat of unemployment was serious enough for Steve Ward, a computer programmer in Philadelphia, to take a day off from work, drive two hours to Manhattan and picket outside the Times Square hotel where the conference [on offshore outsourcing] is being held.

'The consulting firm I work for is sending jobs to India,' said Ward, who came to the protest with a former co-worker who was laid off last year.

Ward, holding a sign — 'Will Code For Food' — dismissed the notion that everyone benefits from the corporate savings generated by offshore outsourcing. 'Companies are predatory institutions, and they have to be controlled,' he said."
