IBM outsourcing jobs to offshore destinations like India and China has met up with large scale opposition by its own employees. IBM in the recent times has outsourced nearly 1000 low end as well as high end jobs to offshore destinations resulting in huge layoffs and has plans to move another 4000 jobs to India, China and other nations.

A pool of IBM employees in the USA have formed a union to fight the IBM outsourcing of jobs. The labor union represents a small portion of IBM employees who have plans to take action against the company in case of any more jobs outsourced. They have even decided not to train any replacement workers from third world countries. Through business process outsourcing IBM on the other hand has promised the generation of more and better paying jobs in US as compared to 2003. A comment seen with much speculation by the IBM employees.

In the recent times many companies are facing similar situations like outsourcing it ibm. The organisations come into two fold pressure in such situations. They have to decide between growth and social implications of their actions.
