In the first quotation, Aistars takes the position that the creators of work have the most at stake in this controversy. Wiens takes the opposite position, that consumers have the most at stake. Who makes the stronger case. Why do you think so?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not mention the topic of your question, neither attach the case, an excerpt, a text, or further references so we can have the proper context.

However, doing some research, it seems that the topic is outsourcing in the workplace. If that is the case, then we can help by commenting on the following.

Since a while ago, there have been some debates about the pros and cons of outsourcing instead of formally hiring employees in the workplace.

Some experts on the subject affirm that outsourcing is a great way for companies to save a lot of money while continually offering some jobs. On the other hand, other experts say that this outsourcing has a negative impact on employees or contractors because this limits the benefits that people could get if they were hired by companies.

Of course, this debate has created too much controversy in diverse groups and in public opinion.

One position favors the perspective of the corporations, that permanently are trying to save money and economize in order to maximize their profits. For these companies, outsourcing has been a good option. However, the counter-argument says that it has been detrimental for people because it limits their income and the opportunity to expand and grow in the workplace.

My position is that it has to be a balance. Companies try to save and economize, but not at the cost of the employee's benefits. Corporations can fix their income a little bit to offer employees a decent package so they can benefit too. Otherwise, it is difficult to ask for an honest, experienced, and committed employee, if companies are not offering a decent salary, growth, and stability.
