The complaint stems from a charge filed by the Communi- cations Workers of America (CWA) after an HR representative interro- gated employees at a Verizon Wireless call center in Chandler, Arizona in October, 2019. The employees targeted for interrogation had signed a petition calling on Verizon to implement in-person anti-racism training across the entire company. https://cwa-union.org/news/releases/nlrb-issues-complaint-against-verizon-for-violating-federal-labor-law-in-arizona -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20200430173859.GA21550@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2020 17:38:59 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Will CCPA Kill Advertising As We Know It?

By Mariella Moon Apple has agreed to pay $18 million to settle a case accusing the company of intentionally breaking FaceTime on iOS 6.
