BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) -- Between 100 and 200 Beaverton call-center jobs are on their way to Chilliwack, British Columbia, according to company officials.
Stream, which employs about 800 people in Beaverton, a Portland suburb, will move technical support work that it handles for Hewlett-Packard. Stream's parent, Solectron, last month agreed to sell Stream to the parent company of ECE Holdings, a competitor.
Derek Handova, a Solectron spokesman, told The Oregonian newspaper Tuesday the move was "a business decision" and is "not directly related" to the planned sale.
