CWA ad lauds Baldwin over call center legislation
The Communications Workers of America has included U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin among its first four incumbent lawmakers to be lauded in a radio ad campaign for supporting a "Call Center Bill."
The new CWA ads thank the Madison congresswoman -- and the state's U.S. Senate nominee -- along with fellow Dem U.S. Reps. Tim Bishop of New York, Martin Heinrich of New Mexico and Betty Sutton of Ohio, for supporting a bill that would "protect American jobs and consumers."
An announcer in the 60-second ad says the bill would "force overseas call center employees to tell us where they are located, and immediately switch us to an American call center when we demand it."
"Call Congresswoman Baldwin and thank her for standing up for American workers and protecting our privacy," the spot ends.
The $100,000 campaign is the first wave of an effort the group says will eventually target 50 races this fall.
