More on the AT&T layoffs
(Sorry about the delay in posting today... I'll get a recap up of last night as soon as possible along with the first batch of pictures. For now, all I'll tell you is that LFT and DU peeps are FUN to drink with)
Bradley Bowen at the North Texas Liberal has some pictures up and additional details on the story.
Mike Littleton, the Southern Area Director of the CWA, said that the group was protesting the announced layoffs from AT&T. "We don't feel it's right that employees are laid off while in the meantime, the company is doing well." Over 200 people in the immediate Ft. Worth area will lose their jobs with the communications giant. Mr. Littleton pointed out that with only about 2,000 Ft. Worth area citizens actually working, 200 out of work is a big proportion. He said that most of the layoffs would affect telephone operators.
Anyone want to make a bet about how many of those jobs will go to nice facility in Bangalore?

I had to remain objective as a "reporter," but I really wanted to jump out there in the picket line with them and protest this awful move. You could tell that the CWA Director was really upset about it, and the protestors were very fired up. You're right about the jobs being outsourced, too.

Objectivity? I prefer to think of myself as selectively objective.
