Thank you so much to all of you that have participated in committee hearings, made calls and sent emails. All your hard work is the reason AB 1677<\/strong> (The Call Center Bill) has passed out of so many committees.  As you know, AB 1677<\/strong> would deny State grants, State-guaranteed loans, or tax credits for 5 years to any company that relocates 30 percent or more of their call center work to another country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AB 1677 will be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee at 10:00am on Monday, August 12th! Please call your state Senator now and tell them to vote YES <\/strong>on AB 1677!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a list of the committee members that need to hear from you.  Even if you’re not a constituent, please make a call to these committee members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sample script:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello, my name is _________ and I am a California citizen\/constituent and union member.  I’m calling to urge Senator ___________ to support an important bill for Call Center Workers in California, <\/em>AB 1677.<\/em><\/strong>AB 1677<\/em><\/strong> is important to union members and workers across our state because it sends a clear message to large corporations — “keep jobs in California or lose out on taxpayer subsidies!”  Please vote<\/em> YES<\/em><\/strong> on AB 1677<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In solidarity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
