NEWS: IBM to shift 3 million jobs overseas between now and 2015

washingtontimes.com

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., July 22 (UPI) -- With corporations under increasing pressure to cut costs and build global supply networks, IBM may shift 3 million jobs overseas by 2015.

In a recorded conference call, two senior IBM officials told their corporate colleagues around the world IBM should move some of its jobs now done in the United States, including software design jobs, to India and other countries.

"Our competitors are doing it and we have to do it," Tom Lynch, IBM's director for global employee relations, said in the call, the New York Times reported.

A recording was provided to The New York Times by the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers, a Seattle-based group seeking to unionize high-technology workers.

The group told the Times it had received the recording -- made by IBM and later placed on an internal company Web site -- from an IBM employee upset about the plans.
