Those Damn Unions - Forcing Companies to ON-SHORE JOBS

Post by dbackjon »

US Airways is hiring 150 customer service agents at its Phoenix call center as part of a deal with its union to bring customer service jobs back to the United States from overseas.

Altogether, the Tempe airline will be hiring 400 customer service agents in Phoenix, Reno, Nev., and Winston-Salem, N.C. under contract agreements with the Airline Customer Service Employee Association , CWA and IBT.

The jobs will be moving from a Philippines call center in Manila under an agreement by the airline to handle all service calls originating in the United States from U.S. call centers.

I bet the assholes who get the jobs will expect a decent wage and a couple days off per week, huh? Pricks.

Great. Now we know who to blame when the cost of a US Airways ticket goes up.

They're union workers. They'll want a fuck of a lot more than that. :coffee:
