Then globalisation kicked in bigtime in the 1990s. It quickly became obvious - to anyone paying attention - that a foreign worker didn't need to emigrate to your country to end up doing your job. Your boss could export your job to them wherever they were, and did. Taking advantage of lower (or no) minimum wage, and weaker (or no) unions, in places like China, Mexico, Bangladesh and Indonesia.
