Chinese Condoms Could Cost US Jobs
By Erik Even | Dated: 03-23-2009
The US Agency for International Development plans to shift production of condoms to overseas companies, some in China, eradicating US jobs.The condoms are created for AIDS prevention programs for foreign nations. The agency says it can get the condoms for 2¢ per unit instead of 5¢ per unit.
The move could cause job losses at Alabama’s Alatech, which employs about 300 people.
Alatech, the sole US condom supplier for the Agency for International Development, is lobbying the agency to keep its condoms American. The company is also considering legal action.
