California State Automobile Association will close its California call centers - including its 500-employee Elk Grove facility - earlier than expected and send the jobs out of state, citing the cost to do business in California.
AAA's Elk Grove site on West Taron Drive will close by the end of 2010, said spokeswoman Cynthia Harris. Last October, AAA officials had said they planned to close the facility by 2011.
AAA's Livermore facility will close on Sept. 1. Its Irvine center will close in March 2009.
In all, about 900 people work at the three centers.
"It costs more to do business in California than other states," she continued, adding that increased demand for AAA's services and AAA's expanded geographic reach were also factors.
Hey AAA, move all those jobs to the great state of Ohio, The Heart of it All. We offer the following amenities for employers with good jobs....
- The eighth highest corporate tax rates in the country
- Oppressive unemployment and worker's comp rates
- Higher than average minimum wage
- No smoking, no where, no time
- Compliance with over 1000 city and school district income tax jurisdictions.
And soon to come..... Seven paid sick days for your employees.
It's a regular employer's paradise.
