All Is Not Rosey At Deutsche Telekom

Shouting slogans and flashing banners, 20 ver.di members protested the anti-worker policies of Deutsche Telekom subsidiary T-Mobile USA at the International Broadcasting Fair in Berlin.

“We think it is not OK that the Telekom presents a nice facade here at IFA, while our colleagues in the USA lack essential rights,” said Tomas Lenk, ver.di shop steward, adding that US employees face anti-union harassment and intimidation.  “It’s because of these things that we join the solidarity campaign: We expect better from Deutschen Telekom."
