Apparently RBC got facebook to shut down the group that called for RBC's boycott.
Even better that will just cause 20 more of them to pop up. It just makes them look more guilty.

nothing new for big business,one of the big telcos sent there work to india years ago,seems its the way of the world screw your own people for the sake of a dollar.
And as for RBC's claim that they're doing everything they can to help these employees 'transition' and find positions elsewhere in the company - complete baloney, according to my neighbour.
If they can't turn a profit while paying their workers a living wage, there's a problem with their business plan. Of course, what they like to gloss over is that they can still turn a tidy profit, but it's a lot tidier if they use foreign migrant slaves instead

yep, and us as a country just keeps taking it, even when they protest against the crap they get beat by the man and our government just lets it happen. **** THE GOVERNMENT AND COR-PIRATES
Sad isn't it?
Since this country has had a population that thinks Unions are not for them, most things have spun & are spinning out of control.
The people of this country will just keep on taking it, as you've noticed. In order to actually do anything about 'such' problems, the population would need to "Unite"..............unfortunately for many, and or all, that ain't happening anytime soon.
"RBC is not hiring new employees that are temporary foreign workers to do that work," she said in a phone interview, noting that those who will take on the work "are going to be the supplier's employees."

It's a very clever trick used by many companies.
RBC's stupidity --> getting the phased out employee's to train the new ones.

All a symptom of the political partisanship that has grown up in the US, and to a lesser extent here.
Exactly. Anyone in IT has been (or will be or knows someone) laid off and replaced by contractors or out-sourced. It is becoming 'standard practice' in IT. I was never asked to train a replacement. Pretty sure I wouldnt do it either (or do it really badly if they really had no idea what I did)
I used to work for a company which found my already low wage to be a bit too much, so they always wanted to replace me with somebody working for minimum wage to save a few bucks.. Whenever I got a trainee assigned, I'd make sure to put so much on their plates that they'd run away screaming "not for what they're paying me".. Went through about 8 trainees before I GTFO that place (voluntarily) and onto greener pastures.. They tried to get me to stay longer and "train a replacement" but they still had like 3 of my "capable" trainees working in other department, so 2 weeks and I was out and they had to choose between Larry, Curly and Mo![]()
Oh well.
