There are some companies in the animation business (names withheld) who
make it common practice to outsource to foreign animation studios when
they grab new film contracts. More peons pushing pens and mice in
far-away lands for sweat-shop pay can get the job done faster. The other
thing they frequently do is hire people on contract, and then fire them
all right after completion of a big project. Pay is borderline, and
medical coverage is usually non-existent (the benefits of contractors!).
Every time I hear about this I think to myself 'why doesn't the labor
department step in and slam the book on these guys for taking advantage
of the workers'?
