Subject: Repeatedly Hacked T-Mobile Ramps Up The Sale Of User App
Download And Behavior Data
from the collect-ALL-the-things! dept
Karl Bode - Mon, Jul 11th 2022
T-Mobile hasn't been what you'd call competent when it comes to
protecting its customers' data. The company has been hacked numerous
different times over the last few years, with hackers going so far as
to ridicule the company's lousy security practices.
A responsible company might slow down on data collection until it was
certain it had figured out how to protect the data it collects. But
this being the United States, where there's no real accountability for
companies with lax privacy and security standards (outside of four
days or so of mean Tweets), T-Mobile has announced that it's
dramatically expanding its collection of user browsing and app
download data.

Subject: Verizon Wireless Retail Workers in Flint, Mich., File for
Union Election With Communications Workers of America
Monday, July 11, 2022
FLINT, Mich. Verizon Wireless retail workers at two stores in Flint,
Mich., filed for a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) election
today. The workers, who have faced years of poor working conditions,
including understaffing, unlivable wages, and disrespect by corporate
management, are seeking to be represented by the Communications
Workers of America (CWA). This group of Verizon Wireless retail
workers, who operate two stores in the Flint area, is the latest to
file for formal union representation and stand up to one of the most
notoriously anti-union companies in the U.S. Last week, Verizon
Express workers at two stores in Portland, Ore., filed for a union
election.
If Flint-based Verizon Wireless workers successfully win union rep-
resentation, they will join hundreds of thousands of telecommunica-
tions and customer service employees as members of CWA, including
Verizon Wireless retail workers in the Seattle area who won a union
election with CWA in April. The workers prevailed despite Verizons
aggressive anti-union tactics, which included flying their in-house,
union-busting team to Seattle the day after the workers publicly
announced their organizing efforts and asked for voluntary
recognition.

Subject: EC accepts Czech concessions from T-Mobile, O2
The European Commission (EC) accepted changes proposed by Deutsche
Telekom and PPF Group to a network-sharing agreement sealed between
their respective subsidiaries in the Czech Republic, ending a six-year
investigation.
In a statement, EU competition chief Margrethe Vestager noted the
commitments offered by the companies had now been made legally binding
under antitrust rules.
She added the pledges "will keep the benefits of network sharing
whilst removing technical and financial disincentives to unilateral
deployments and limiting information exchange."
