Gray Lady Outsourcing Jobs to India

(New York) Previously one of the many banner-waving complainers about outsourcing, the New York Times looks to be going with the flow.

Observer:

On Feb. 12, the Times Company will begin an efficiency study of the newspaper's excitingly named Customer Order Fulfillment (C.O.F.) department, according to New York Newspaper Guild sources.

"Our belief is that they're planning to subcontract some office work -- billing, production, advertising," said Barry Lipton, president of the Guild. "Their probable decision is to outsource it, most likely to a company in India."

A Times Company spokesperson confirmed that the company is considering outsourcing jobs in the C.O.F. department to India.

This provides evidence that the utopian ideals of the liberal elitists are side-stepped when husbanding the business bottom line.

Heh.
