Reps. Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Daniel Lipinski (D-IL), and Jennifer Wexton (D-VA) are encouraging Amtrak officials to reconsider the carriers offshoring provision allowing contractors to ship some American jobs overseas.
The representatives forwarded correspondence to Amtrak President and CEO William J. Flynn after learning Amtrak’s current Request for Proposal (RFP) for work on its eCommerce and Mobile Development would enable job offshoring.
