In a letter, Bishop urged the President to consider the "U.S. Call Center and Consumer Protection Act,
" the bipartisan bill he sponsored to bar corporations that outsource U.S. call center jobs from receiving
federal grants and loans, as a framework for Executive action to encourage the retention and growth of call center jobs in America.
Highlighting the fact that U.S-based call centers account for approximately three percent of jobs in the American workforce,
Bishop wrote: "I hope your Administration will seriously consider the remedy my colleagues and I are confident will reduce
the incidence of outsourcing by creating new incentives to insource call center jobs and provide a measure of stability and longevity
to a sector of America’s workforce that needs our help as our economy continues to recover."
