 Critics tie Clinton to offshoring
Critics of offshoring say that one of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s efforts to bring jobs to Buffalo really helped a company that inevitably sends more jobs to Bangalore.

Four years ago, Clinton brought Tata Consultancy Services to Buffalo amid great fanfare and promises that its local operation might eventually employ up to 100 people.
But the India-based company, one of the world’s largest outsourcing consultants, currently employs only about 10 people locally.
And ever since campaign aides to Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois — Clinton’s closest challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination — highlighted her ties to Tata in a memo in June, worries about Clinton’s views on offshoring have only grown among people fighting to keep high-tech jobs in the United States.
“She touted how she brought Tata to Buffalo - and in the meantime Tata is one of the biggest body shops in America,” bringing cheap foreign labor to this country while exporting other jobs to India, said John Bauman, founder of the Connecticut- based Organization for the Rights of American Workers.
Aides to Clinton and others involved in the Tata effort at the time insist that she lured Tata to Buffalo merely as part of her Senate campaign pledge to boost the upstate economy.
“Since her first day in the United States Senate, Sen. Clinton’s priority has been to support local businesses and entrepreneurs in order to spur job creation and economic growth throughout New York State, and this is just one of the literally hundreds of cases where she did so,” said Philippe Reines, Clinton’s spokesman.
