They participated in workshops and plenary sessions, shared ideas and strategized for the future, held solidarity actions, and heard from CWA leaders, elected officials, and other guest speakers. Speaking to participants about the need for our union to adapt to the ever-changing industry, CWA President Chris Shelton said, ”Since the early days of wireless, we have been at the forefront of organizing, representing, and fighting for workers to build a stronger, more powerful union.” He referenced the growing group of workers in the wireless industry who are taking collective action and joining CWA, including tower climbers, who for the first time ever participated in the conference. “By forming a union with CWA, tower climbers are beating the odds, just like they beat the odds each time they go out on a job and return home safely,” said Shelton. He also emphasized the need to consistently mobilize to win strong contracts that improve standards for all workers. https://cwa-union.org/news/cwa-wireless-workers-build-power-annual-conference |

Chief Marketing Officer Mike Katz during T-Mobile US’ most recent earnings call labeled the carrier’s FWA-based “home internet service” as “one of the big killer apps for 5G that you are seeing play out right now.” This was linked to the carrier adding approximately 600,000 new FWA customers during the first quarter, pushing T-Mobile US’ customer base to 3.2 million subscribers. https://www.sdxcentral.com/articles/news/t-mobile-us-touts-fixed-wireless-access-as-5g-big-killer-app/2023/04/ |
