Breaking! Judge Finds T-Mobile US Guilty of Maintaining Nationwide, Illegal Corporate Policies

A judge at the National Labor Relations Board, Christine Dibble, has found T-Mobile US guilty of engaging in nationwide labor law violations against workers. The unprecedented ruling comes following a rare move by the NLRB consolidating multiple complaints against T-Mobile US for illegal actions and policies in Albuquerque, N.M.; Wichita, Kans.; Charleston, S.C., and New York City.

At the heart of this decision are nationwide corporate policies that the judge has determined are illegal, including blocking workers from organizing or even talking to each other about problems at work.

These management policies have been targeting workers over the past several years, and we see that they have been orchestrated from the very top of the company in Bellevue. These are nationwide policies that every manager at every store and call center has been implementing.

CWA President Larry Cohen said "these behaviors would be almost unimaginable in Germany or any other democracy in the world."

Even now, following the unprecedented consolidation of complaints from multiple locations that resulted in this decision, complaints issued from the NLRB and more charges continue to pile up.

The judge has ordered that the policies be rescinded and that T-Mobile US let employees know that it has violated federal labor law.
