We the people ask the federal government to Call on Congress to act on an issue:

Make U.S. companies pay an additional unemployment tax premium for jobs they eliminate by outsourcing to other countries

Created by G.T. on September 30, 2016

By making companies pay additional unemployment taxes for outsourced jobs to other countries it will narrow the profit margins and increase risk thus decreasing the motivation to find job alternatives outside the country. Minimizing this option for employers will create better communication and engagement with employees who no longer are threatened by job outsourcing. The funds collected will increase revenue for an unemployment system which is already underfunded. This will work to decrease unemployment by discouraging companies to continue outsourcing, which will work to bring back our jobs from overseas.
