CWA launches website to oppose T-Mobile-Sprint deal

The Communications Workers of America (CWA) has launched a new website with information about the effects of the T-Mobile-Sprint merger, including detailed state-by-state information about job loss, merger related news articles, and links to organizational comments filed with the FCC.

The proposed T-Mobile and Sprint merger is bad news for American workers and consumers. While T-Mobile and Sprint are making vague promises that the merger will create thousands of jobs in the US, the data and the companies' track records tell a different story. The merger would result in job loss across the country and increased prices for consumers, while still leaving rural communities without access to high-speed broadband.

Last week, CWA submitted new comments to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on the proposed T-Mobile-Sprint merger. The new filing assesses the companies' insufficient responses to CWA's initial comments to the FCC and finds that T-Mobile and Sprint have failed to show that there would be verifiable, merger-related public interest benefits that would outweigh the substantial harm the deal would cause to working people and consumers.
