New CWA Website Exposes Sprint Misinformation
The Communications Workers of America has launched Eye on Sprint, a website that puts Sprint's finances, technology, business, and employment practices under a magnifying glass. It exposes Sprint's self-interest in its attacks on the AT&T/T-Mobile merger.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Eye on Sprint, "charges the third-largest U.S. wireless provider with a major case of sour grapes. 'Sprint wanted to acquire T-Mobile, but T-Mobile recognized that AT&T was a better fit, and now Sprint will say anything to stop the merger,' according to the website."
In its Jobs section, Eye on Sprint debunks a Sprint-commissioned report noting, "... the report ignores key facts that show that an AT&T/T-Mobile merger would create and protect jobs and be good for the American economy and its workers."
In another job section, the site details how Sprint, despite its rhetoric on saving jobs:
Sprint has a long record of outsourcing significant parts of the work it performs — leaving its customers without the transparency and accountability they deserve. And, as America works to rebuild its economy and reduce the unemployment gap, Sprint's actions have led to lower pay and worse benefits for its workers and fewer Americans with a paycheck at all.
Eye on Sprint is designed to be the source for the facts about Sprint. Check it out www.eyeonsprint.org. Follow on Twitter at @EyeOnSprint and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/EyeOnSprint
