Track/look up companies in your area sending jobs overseas:

When we asked Working America members across the country how we could solve the jobs crisis, the most common policy they mentioned was preventing corporations from sending jobs overseas. Working people see jobs leaving their communities as corporations race to the bottom, moving jobs to foreign countries with low wages and lax workplace protections, driving wages and working conditions down for all of us. But while we see the plant closing or mass layoff in the next town over, it's hard to know the scope of the problem-after all, corporations don't want too bright a light shining on their unpopular actions, and the government doesn't track every job lost to outsourcing.

That's why Working America created the Job Tracker. Job Tracker is a publicly available, zip code-searchable database exposing companies that have been exporting jobs, laying off workers and violating safety and health laws and labor laws. Use it to search your area for companies that have sent jobs overseas, risked the safety and health of workers or violated their rights.

Job Tracker has a lot of information in it-more than 400,000 companies, in fact. But we know we didn't catch everything. That's why we're asking you to search your area and see if any companies you know shipped jobs overseas are missing. If they are, tell us about it. We'll research your submissions and add them to Job Tracker if we validate that outsourcing occurred.

Corporations aren't going to stop moving jobs out of America unless we force them to stop, and we can't change anything without good information about what they're doing. Let's take the first step by shining a light on outsourcing, safety and health violations and labor law violations.
