To the editor: It ought to be famous that the supposed price financial savings in taking any U.S. enterprise elsewhere comes on the expense of the earnings, healthcare and pension of previous, current and future staff (“Certainly one of America’s TV pastimes is the sport present. Why are so many filming abroad?,” Nov. 25). Virtually all U.S. leisure guilds and unions have a low-budget settlement and can work with manufacturing corporations.
If corporations try to save lots of prices, how a lot of the finances is spent on hosts, writers, actors, administrators, and many others., after they get a producer credit score added? How a lot of the finances is air fare for crew and contestants, inns, meals and different journey bills?
As with every enterprise that goes to different international locations, individuals right here begin shedding their incomes and life prospects. This results in a downward spiral of any family, group, city, metropolis or state now lacking spending potential and tax advantages.
The time period “price slicing” is actually about extra earnings going into fewer and fewer pockets and hurting so many.
