We Expect Better Campaign Heating Up in Germany

 

Leaders and members of ver.di, the union representing German workers at Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile, are gearing up the campaign to support T-Mobile USA workers in the face of a proposed sale of that company to Metro PCS, a U.S. firm that outsources the majority of its jobs.

CWA President Larry Cohen is in Frankfurt now, meeting with ver.di officers and leaders of the global labor movement, including the International Trade Union Confederation, to talk about the campaign's next steps.

Meanwhile, Deutsche Telekom trainees throughout Germany are showing their support for the "We Expect Better" campaign. This group (shown at right), in the Southern region of Nürnberg, produced a banner and signed it at their trainee meeting this week.
