Congressman Maurice Hinchey is calling for an investigation into possible job cuts at NYSEG's Kirkwood facility.

Multimedia Watch The Video NYSEG is working to cut costs at the Call center, by either cutting salaries in half, or cutting more than 200 jobs.

Hinchey says the move will only weaken the companies operations.

And he's requested the Public Service Commission to investigate NYSEG'S owner, Iberdrola USA.

"This is really something that's unacceptable. It has no defense on their part whatsoever. So I've called upon the public service commission here in the state of New York to look into this, and do an investigation, and tell them they have no right to behave in this particular way," said Congressman Hinchey.

Hinchey says if the public service commission doesn't take action, he'll find another way to get involved.
