Subject: Here's how you stop T-Mobile from selling your data to
third parties
By Sanuj Bhatia June 30, 2022
T-Mobile is one of the major network service providers in the United
States, alongside AT&T and Verizon. The carrier has worked its way
through to raise its reputation in the market and often calls itself
the "Un-carrier". It has been crowned one of the best 5G providers in
the country. However, it appears that even the best 5G company is
involved in some of the phishy activities, and in this case, it
appears that T-Mobile is selling user data to advertisers.
The company formally launched its advertising platform App Insights
(via Ad Exchanger) earlier this month. The program has been in the
beta testing phase for the past year, but it has been formally
introduced now with a new name. What the App Insights program does is
that it allows advertisers and marketers to directly buy user data
from the carrier, T-Mobile, itself. In a world where Apple and Google
are taking steps to curb data collection, T-Mobile is using its
platform to sell user data directly to the advertisers.

Subject: CWA Bargaining Update - AT&T Orange Mobility
CWA members under the Orange contract at AT&T Mobility have won a
groundbreaking tentative agreement that met or exceeded all of the
goals they had set for the bargaining committee. The Orange contract
covers retail workers, call center representatives, and technicians in
36 states in the Northeast, Midwest and West, and the District of
Columbia.
Members mobilized around the need for wage increases to address rising
costs and the effect of AT&T's shifting of work from company-owned
stores to third-party authorized retailers. The proposed contract
contains substantial increases to base wages, title-specific upgrades,
and unprecedented adjustments to protect against inflation. It also
has a first-time requirement for at least 20% of AT&T stores to be
company-owned.
