MERIDEN, Conn. (AP) _ AT&T Inc. says it is closing its dispatch and repair center in Meriden as part of a company realignment and moving the jobs to Michigan.

AT&T spokesman Dave Mancuso said Wednesday that the company is offering affected workers other employment within the company, including the jobs being moved to Southfield, Michigan.

AT&T declined to say how many workers will be affected. The Communications Workers of America labor union says 60 jobs are being eliminated.

Gov. M. Jodi Rell on Wednesday ordered state regulators to review AT&T's closure plans, as part of their pending review of the company's customer service quality.

State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal opposes the closure, saying it would remove all remaining residential customer service dispatch jobs in Connecticut.
