I work for Sprint. We are not unionized. I know several of the people that will be out of work. As the article said, contractors will be the first ones to be let go. I am very sure that the best of the best will remain with the company.
Sprint is simply moving the maintanance of our admistratition records system to India. The upgrades and general managment will remain with the US based Sprint employees. In all honesty, all of Sprint has known about this for a few months now.
