Requesting that AT&T reconsider its decision to close its
consumer sales and service center in Charleston, West
Virginia.
Whereas, In February, 1994, AT&T announced its decision to
close its sales and service center in Charleston, West Virginia,
by October 1, 1994, an act which will eliminate four hundred
jobs; and
Whereas, When the center was brought to West Virginia,
incentives and concessions were made by the state of West
Virginia to encourage AT&T to locate in Charleston; and
Whereas, The center in Charleston has been a top performer
for AT&T with no negative aspects; and
Whereas, The loss of the four hundred jobs at the Charleston
sales and service center will have a definite impact on theeconomy of the city of Charleston, the county of Kanawha and the
state of West Virginia; and
Whereas, The four hundred employees of the AT&T sales and
service center in Charleston have performed their jobs with
exceptional dedication and reliability to AT&T and are
undeserving of such unfair treatment; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate hereby requests AT&T to reconsider its
decision to close the AT&T sales and service center in
Charleston, West Virginia, costing four hundred of their
dedicated and loyal employees to lose their jobs; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to
forward a copy of this resolution to the chairman of AT&T, Robert
E. Allen; the governor of West Virginia, the Honorable Gaston
Caperton; and the members of the West Virginia delegation to the
United States Congress.
