On December 8, 2011, your United States Representative, Tim Bishop, introduced a bill that would help good American call center jobs from being “off-shored” abroad by greedy corporations.
Stand with Rep. Tim Bishop’s US Call Center Worker and Consumer Protection Bill
Representative Bishop is standing up for middle class Americans in his new Call Center Bill. The Call Center Bill would support American workers and protect consumers by:
Denying taxpayer cash to off-shorers: by creating a bad actor list that would stop companies that ship jobs abroad from getting Federal loans and grants and send them to the back of the line for government contracts.
Giving you the right to know: requires call center agents to tell you where they are talking to you from.
Giving you the right to transfer to a US operator: so that when you don’t want a foreign call center, you have the right to be transferred to a US-based operator.
Too many corporations have sent thousands of call center jobs in a race to the bottom that hurts American workers and consumers.
It’s time for us to put pressure on US companies that send American jobs overseas.
