National Grid is urged to reconsider outsourcing

ALBANY -- Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is urging National Grid to reconsider plans to outsource as many as 1,200 technology jobs in New York and New England.

Gillibrand wrote a letter dated Jan. 4 to Tom King, president of National Grid USA, following a Syracuse Post-Standard report that 200 computer-related jobs would be eliminated in Syracuse, which is the headquarters for National Grid's upstate New York operations.

There is no indication if any of the jobs are located in the Capital Region.

The state Public Service Commission has been asking utilities in New York to cut costs that do not impact safety or reliability of the electrical system.
