Union organizers
target T-Mobile


    WASHINGTON — Union officials in the United States are teaming up with their German counterparts in a bid to organize workers at wireless carrier T-Mobile USA.
    Leaders at the Communications Workers of America said Wednesday that the new arrangement with German union ver.di will help show a “double standard” between how European companies treat workers in their home countries compared with the U.S.
    T-Mobile’s parent company Deutsche Telekom AG is known as a union-friendly model in Germany, where cooperation with unions is encouraged by labor laws. But CWA president Larry Cohen says T-Mobile USA has worked aggressively against union organizing since it entered the U.S. market nine years ago.
    “We’re tired of the two faces,” Cohen said at a news conference announcing the joint union, to be called TUnion.
    Peter Dobrow, a spokesman for Bellevue, Wash.-based T-Mobile USA, said employee satisfaction surveys show more than 70 percent of the company’s 40,000 workers are “very satisfied” with their jobs. “Despite the Communication Workers of America’s periodic organizing efforts for more than nine years, no group of T-Mobile employees has ever chosen to be represented by a union,” Dobrow said.

Only because the german government has ACCESS to every person's personal accounts and manages
EVERYTHING in their lives.......

are we PIONEERING AMERICANS or a bunch of lazy a@@, lack of initiative, entitlement seekers who no longer
care about their own personal soul/mind being,,,,selling out for little pieces of crumbs from the so called
'kings table'.........

feel good now? love the commune?

America IS NOT A COMMUNE......look around and live


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
