You object to the Bank of Ireland giving IT work to Hewlett-Packard?

I object to offshoring. Anything that further damages that deplorable behavior is worthwhile. Moreover, the article hints at what U.S. workers injured by free traitin' can do to the authors of outsourcing.

Trade isn't deplorable, it's the method by which we all improve our standard of living. It'd be interesting for you to live a single month absent the advantages afforded you by trade, just so you could see if it's what you really want.

You said it well. True conservativism supports individuals being able to take care of themselves and assist those they care about. How can someone do that if employers are oputsourcing? It also belives that national sovereignty extends to economic security just as much as military power. Unfortunately, some free-traders believe that conservativism means that big business and corporations should be able to do anything they please, regardless of the damage they inflict on others. Why is it that individuals should be subject to restraints on their conduct, but businesses and corporations shouldn't?
