House GOP Votes Against Considering Call Center Bill, Aligns Itself Against U.S. Workers & Consumers

Today, in a near party-line vote of 238-178, the U.S. House of Representatives voted against considering legislation sponsored by Rep. Tim Bishop (D-NY) and Rep. Dave McKinley (R-WV) entitled the U.S. Call Center Worker and Consumer Protection Act. The legislation would have helped to revitalize a U.S. call center industry that has lost over 500,000 jobs just in the past six years, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In the process, the legislation also would have strengthened American consumer security against ongoing security problems associated with overseas call centers.
