Local Dish Network call center to close in March

According to a report on KDKA TV, the Dish Network call center in McKeesport will close in March of 2010. This facility currently employs 600 people and will be a huge loss to the local economy. According to a spokesperson for Dish Network out of Colorado, the facility did not fit with the company’s future plans and will be the only call center shut down by the company. Dish will help those in whatever way they can to find other employment.
