Dear Michael
An email sent to Michael Gorrell, executive vice president of technology and Chief Information Officer at EBSCO Publishing:
Dear Mr. Gorrell
As executive vice president of technology and Chief Information Officer at EBSCO Publishing, you may be interested to learn about some of the new technologies used by businesses to conduct meetings with people in other countries without having to travel there in person.
Recently, Irish Labour Party TDs Michael Conaghan, Alex White, and Gerald Nash requested a meeting with EBSCO in order to discuss the company’s refusal to abide by the Irish Labour Court’s recommendation regarding the redundancy payments to former H. W. Wilson workers. They were told that such a meeting would not be possible because the company does not have a representative in this country and instead had to meet with EBSCO’s solicitor in Ireland.
It strikes me that the field of teleconferencing would offer many new opportunities to EBSCO to allow them to circumvent this problem. I am no expert in such matters, but I am sure that you, as executive vice president of technology and Chief Information Officer, would have no problem finding someone who could advise you.
If you do manage to set up such a system, the Wilson Pickets would be delighted to talk to EBSCO’s representatives, something that has not been possible to date.
Yours sincerely,
Colette Willis, on behalf of the Wilson Pickets
