The story was printed in the Pittsburgh newspaper February 19, 2004. Also printed in the Miami Herald. miami.com There are 105 American IT jobs that are going to be outsourced soon to IBM Global Services. IBM Global Services says it will offer "short-term" jobs to the laid off Heinz employees. Looking past the short-term, the jobs will go overseas. Sending jobs overseas is IBM Global Services's business - mostly to India. Punch in "IBM Global Service India" into google. Kerry can do something about these jobs by acting now. Kerry's wife chairs the Heinz endowment. If you think the Heinz chairman wouldn't take her call (or his) and listen you're nuts. While company management doesn't have to follow her orders, she is free to register her displeasure by selling the endowment's shares of Heinz. Or she and Kerry could show up at the annual meeting and raise cain about the upcoming outsourcing. Endowment shares could be voted against the current board. A shareholder resolution could be introduced on the issue. Anyone of these actions would an opportunity to show that Kerry's talk about "benedict arnold" companies isn't just empty campaign rhetoric.
