Trump, Charter's Rutledge Hail Call Center Repatriation, Investment
Charter Chairman Tom Rutledge was in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump Friday to talk up--in an announcement carried live on YouTube--the company's repatriation of Time Warner Cable call center jobs, something it pledged in its deal to merge with the company, as well as a big infrastructure investment in the new regulatory climate.
The President praised the company, its executives, and the $25 billion Charter was pledging to make in infrastructure investment over the next four years, as well as the 20,000 U.S. workers Charter said it would be hiring over the next four years as it was completely ending offshore call centers, a move the President called that "such a big deal."
Charter pledged to repatriate the call centers as part of the Time Warner deal, but it has now committed to a time frame and put some numbers to the effort, which clearly pleased the President, as did the infrastructure pledge.
