Telstra Clear proposals a blow for Kapiti
The decision to shift the Kapiti Call Centre to the Philippines will be a major blow for the 50 staff and their families but the Government will do everything it can to assist affected workers, says Otaki MP Nathan Guy.
“I am gutted by the decision and my thoughts and feelings are with the employees and their families who will be faced with the challenge of finding new jobs.
“We already have half our local workforce leaving the district each day for employment. That’s why we need the Paraparaumu Airport Development, roading developments and rolling out of broadband, which will stimulate the local economy.
“As soon as I heard about the plans of Telstra Clear I rang Social Development Minister Paula Bennett to ensure Work and Income staff support the affected employees through this process,” says Mr Guy.
