| CALIFORNIA CALL CENTER SET TO CHANGE
OWNERS -- A call center in Riverbank, Calif. that has changed
management four times since opening in 1996 will do so again when
Verizon sells the center to GoAmerica, Inc. The center, which employs
about 700 relay service operators, will change hands (along with a
Memphis, Tennessee. call center) as
part of GoAmerica’s $50 million cash buyout of Verizon’s relay services
division. GoAmerica will continue to operate the center, company
spokeswoman Laura Kowalcyk told
The Modesto
Bee, using Irving, Texas subcontractor Stellar Nordia Services to
handle the center’s staffing and operation. The deal is expected to be
finalized later this year, she said |
