  There is nothing morally wrong with outsourcing. It’s not like these jobs are being lost. They will be done by other people.

    Legally there is clearly a problem.

    Morally it is abhorrent to fire people during a pandemic while collecting millions in government funding intended to keep people employed.

    There’s something morally wrong with it when you use it as an excuse to pay those workers significantly less. As well, jobs likely were lost, outsourced contracts rarely have the same rights, including leave entitlements, for their workers.

      Outsourcing usually happens to countries with lower cost of living. Those people get paid less, but their expenses are also much lower.

    The illegal part was the firing—mostly union workers whomst's bargaining agreement was going to expire the following month.

      The part about them being union workers doesn’t super matter. They were on full-time contacts and Australia doesn’t have at-will employment.

    Key word here is “illegally”.
