I am happy to see that someone is trying to save money on Hurricane cleanup. If the Dems had there way, the call center would not only be run by the Feds, but also completely unionized.

Yeah. Evidently we don't know how to make sandbags anymore. Of course, we could always use lawyers instead since we do know how to make lots of them.

OK call me crazy but
Why couldn't the call centers be staffed with
American evacuees who needed jobs?

To: Syberyenta
Besides the time factor because the evacuees will make more off of federal aid then they would working.

They're just making the sandbags Americans don't want to fill anymore.

Can't you and Bob pick on someone else ... used car salesmen, roofers, infomercial personalities, customer non-service employees? There must be some other group at which you can hurl your broad generalizations!

My lawyer's one of the good guys.
Besides, I've read there are noise ordinances all around the levies -- lawyers would not be a good choice.

I highly doubt the authenticity of this article. I havent yet head of any such thing being reported from the Indian news media.
I think this is just another malicious tripe to bait Indians over the issue of outsourcing.

Looks real on the ABC news site. But this was left out... comes before "Kennedy didn't hesitate."
"So the operating officer, Matthew Rocco, offered what he had proposed to his other clients: He could redirect calls to the company's offshore site in India, in a city north of Mumbai."
Sounds like a reasonable plan to me, and it appears to have worked.

Ah, well, yes. Now we are operating at the eighth grade level of humor.
Shouldn't you be in school right now?

You're crazy (just kidding).
Excellent point.
