T-Mobile USA having trouble following US law?

Oops, they did it again!

For the third time this year (remember here and here?) T-Mobile is required by the National Labor Relations Board to email all employees a notice about their right to form a union as part of a settlement. The company is also required to post the notice in the workplace. 

In September 2011, CWA filed charges against the T-Mobile Call Center management in Frisco, TX, when managers harassed and interrogated one of our committee members and in doing so issued an "overly broad" (and INCORRECT) rule regarding employees' right to organize.

The Notice to employees states:

"FEDERAL LAW GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO:

• Form, join, or assist a union; 
• Choose a representative to bargain with us on your behalf;
• Act together with other employees for your benefit and protection;
• Choose not to engage in any of these protected activities.

WE WILL NOT do anything to prevent you from exercising the above rights.

WE WILL NOT stop you from talking about unions during working time if we permit talkabout other non-work topics during working time.WE WILL NOT stop you from distributing literature on non-working time and in non-workareas.

WE WILL NOT in any like or related manner interfere with your rights under Section 7of the Act."

Once again, we say, T-Mobile, just follow the law. It's really not that hard. How is that for a New Year's resolution?

We expect better!
