AT&T Extends Olive Branch to FCC with Jobs Offer

AT&T stated on Tuesday that if the Federal Communications Commission approves its proposed acquisition of T-Mobile, it will bring 5,000 wireless call center jobs back to the U.S. AT&T also pledged that it won't slash any U.S. jobs from AT&T and T-Mobile's call centers after the acquisition is complete. Combined, the two companies would have 25,000 call center employees, with an unknown portion being based outside the U.S. In a separate statement, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and CWA President Larry Cohen lauded AT&T's commitment to bring jobs back to the U.S. The FCC and Department of Justice are still reviewing AT&T's proposed acquisition of T-Mobile, and likely won't make a decision until early 2012.

should be US jobs ANYWAY

I hate this bargain/bartering crap. ATT has the absolute WORST customer service with among the highest complaint rate out of any company. I have NEVER spoken to anyone who reported a good experience. I do not use ATT or T-Mobile, but have had to call their customer "support" before for friends/family technical troubleshooting and have always had to resolve my issue somewhere else...usually a quick google search to find others reporting the same issue with the same complaints against ATT. Maybe the company wouldn't be lagging in its' industry if it had not outsourced most of its employees in the first place. If ATT had not illegally secured the iPhone, that company would not exist today. Just goes to show what some fanboys will do...anything ...

Smoke and mirrors?

I would really like to see the numbers of jobs they really do phan on bringing back to the States. I used to be a Chief Steward for one of the locals at AT&T, and they were still pushing jobs overseas when I was there in 2008. I want to see proof on paper, with an action plan and short-term time table to bring those jobs back. If they don't plan on bringing them back for several years? I'm calling their bluff.
Phan = plan. Dumb swype on the phone (and site made it hard to see what I was typing....)
