PRESS RELEASE

Dominican Republic.- A new company that will start operations in the Dominican Republic will generate 500 jobs said Eddy Martínez Manzueta, Director Investment and Export Center (CEI-RD).

He revealed that the company is Call Center industry leader, GlobCom.

Martinez Manzueta, also stated that the company is interested in expanding its services to San Francisco de Macoris, as part of its development and growth strategy.

He said that this company's opening constitutes a portion of CEI-RD's institucional philosophy in attracting foreign investment to create and generate employment sources.

Martinez Mazueta informed that Globcom is currently operating a Call Center in Santiago de los Caballeros that employs more that 200 people among agents and administrative staff.

He explained that the company signed a contract with a foreign organization, allowing them to unify commercial criteria and generate more than 1,600 jobs in the country's northern region, mainly in this city.

"The biggest challenge for agents is to recruit more 1,400 people in the months to come" he said when participating in the conference "Free Trade Agreements, Impact in Businesses" lectured by members of the Association of Public Accountants of San Francisco de Macoris.

Additionally, he expressed that the creation of new jobs and new foreign investment company openings represents the policies implemented by President Leonel Fernandez.

Its about time! I have been asking for the more of this for a few years. As I stated in the past, the US has a big consumer market which includes spanish speaking citizens where customer service agents jobs can be shipped to the DR (instead of India) because many Dominicanas have ESL (english as a second language).

More jobs, security and infrastructure but less corruption, crime and inflation!

Again how much are these people going to be paid and what benefits package are they going to offered?

Whether you sit in front of a sewing machine or a computer screen, its the hours, the conditions of employment and the compensation for your labor that determines if these are truly good jobs or sweatshops with modern technology.

If I could only bring Henry with me to organize:

Source: http://www.time.com/time/time100/builder/profile/ford3.html

The same year, Henry Ford shocked the world with what probably stands as his greatest contribution ever: the $5-a-day minimum-wage scheme. The average wage in the auto industry then was $2.34 for a 9-hr. shift. Ford not only doubled that, he also shaved an hour off the workday. In those years it was unthinkable that a guy could be paid that much for doing something that didn't involve an awful lot of training or education. The Wall Street Journal called the plan "an economic crime," and critics everywhere heaped "Fordism" with equal scorn. But as the wage increased later to a daily $10, it proved a critical component of Ford's quest to make the automobile accessible to all.

The critics were too stupid to comprehend that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didn't matter — except for making it feasible for more people to buy cars.
