Source: eweek.com
A group representing IBM employee interests has called for pickets at IBM locations on April 24 to protest recent job cuts.
The Alliance@IBM, which touts itself as an IBM employees union, said its members and supporters will be holding informational pickets at various IBM locations around the country to call attention to the IBM job cuts and off-shoring.
So far, the alliance plans to hold pickets in Austin, Texas; Poughkeepsie and Endicott, N.Y.; Boca Raton, Fla.; Burlington, Vt.; Boulder, Colo.; Rochester, Minn.; and Research Triangle Park, N.C.
IBM employees and their communities continue to see IBM cut employee jobs while shifting the work offshore, Tom Midgley, president of the Alliance@IBM, said in a statement. "This destruction of IBM jobs is unacceptable, and we will be sending a message to IBM'Stop off-shoring our jobs.'"
