Intelligence Report By Lyric Wallwork Winik Published: July 1, 2007 [In the News] How Safe Is Your Job? [EDITOR'S NOTE: Many readers have expressed their concern about Labor Secretary Elaine Chaoâs comments about American workers in the story below, which was featured in the July 1, 2007, edition of PARADE. Click here for clarification from Secretary Chao herself.] You could lose your job to a foreign workerânot because heâs cheaper but because he has better workplace skills and discipline. Thatâs the message Labor Secretary Elaine Chao hears from U.S. executives who are worried about Americaâs competitive future. While losses are low thus farâone study estimates that only 280,000 jobs in the service industry out of 115 million are outsourced each yearâthat could change. Beyond the cheaper cost of labor, U.S. employers say that many workers abroad simply have a better attitude toward work. âAmerican employees must be punctual, dress appropriately and have good personal hygiene,â says Chao. âThey need anger-management and conflict-resolution skills, and they have to be able to accept direction. Too many young people bristle when a supervisor asks them to do something.â http://www.parade.com/articles/editions/2007/edition_07-01-2007/Intelligence_Report
Her comments imply that American employees are late, filthy, angry and dress like slobs . . . I'd put this bitch in the same league as Chertoff and Sec of commerce Guiterrez who think Americans are all racist for not wanting to go along with Bush Kennedys amnesty.
she clearly does not see her OWN boss as the American people she demonstrates outright insubordination, on top of incompetence
