Last week was a big week for wireless workers. We were proud to travel to Washington, DC, to represent T-Mobile workers and to talk to regulators and members of Congress about the impact of a proposed T-Mobile/Sprint merger.
If you're like us, you've been hearing tons of rumors about the proposed merger between T-Mobile and Sprint. What we really need right now are facts about this deal.
Support our fight to keep good jobs right here in the USA. Both T-Mobile and Sprint have a track record of closing call centers and retail stores while offshoring work.
As we prepare for another year of building our union, let’s take a look back at all we accomplished last year.
We began 2018 with the publication of our Wireless Industry Statement of Principles. It’s our vision of what jobs in the wireless industry should look like, drafted by wireless workers from AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless.

Last month about 300 people attended a forum in Germany where representatives of workers at Deutsche Telekom (DT) confronted executives, including CEO Tim Höttges, about unfair workplace practices at its subsidiary T-Mobile US (TMUS).
As front-line workers in retail sales and call centers, and as telecommunications technicians, we are concerned that the proposed merger between T-Mobile and Sprint will mean the loss of many American jobs, cuts in wages and commissions, and a corresponding reduction in quality to our customers.
Last month, I had the pleasure of joining dozens of other telecom workers from T-Mobile, AT&T Mobility (ATTM), Verizon Wireless (VZW), and other companies across the world in a TeleTown Hall. We talked about our common challenges and strategies for building a better future for the wireless industry.
