The increasing move of white-collar jobs overseas is inevitable, says one longtime Silicon Valley activist. So the fight for workers' rights has to go global.

If your job has been offshored to another country, where someone else will do it for a fraction of your former salary, should you:

(a) beg;
(b) rail against the prevailing trend;
(c) get a different, less vulnerable job?

Amy Dean has a more radical, if wonkier, idea.

Dean: "The obligation of the employee is to constantly keep skills upgraded and keep really current in whatever field that you work in. It also means that the social networks that you're a part of become increasingly important, because they become the vehicle that connects you to employment."
