Information about the Effects of Outsourcing on Georgia

Legislative Alert for Georgia on Outsourcing - SB12 needs your support

We have reported several times (such as The State of Georgia is sending Georgia jobs to India with YOUR Tax Dollars) the State of Georgia is using your tax dollars to send jobs to foreign countries.

One example is:

Georgia's Department of Human Resources pays Citicorp $8 million a year to manage phone inquiries from the state's 438,000 food stamp recipients. Citicorp outsources the work to an Indian call center that handles roughly 1.7 million calls annually from Georgians.

SB12 (see entire bill below) has been filed in the State Senate:

At this time the State web site does not list the members of the Senate Committees. With the Session over 1/3 completed this resource has been nothing but dismal for this Session. As soon as possible will get the members of the State & Local Government Committee listed. But do not wait contact your state Senator today and ask them to support Senate Bill 12.
