Columbia House - outsourcing jobs - how to protest
1 - I'm cancelling my membership. Haven't been using cause I think it's an outrageous to buy that way - they nail you on the shipping charge.

2 - Maybe we ought to mail back their cards - won't join while you cut American jobs.

When Jean Shaw gets together with her co-workers in Terre Haute, the talk is all about the future: a future they never imagined.

"Where am I going to get a job paying a decent wage at 56 years old? Where can I start over?" asks Shaw.

Shaw and her three co-workers are watching their jobs at the mail-order company Columbia House disappear, the latest casualties of a corporate trend called outsourcing.

Shaw has worked for the company 27 years, Janice Alsip is going on 34, Sue Treash has been there 26 and Faye Johnson just completed her 29th year.

They all worked in the returns department until the company began sending jobs packing.
