Subject: $353k in back wages recovered for T-Mobile sales associates
Some of the employees affected worked at three Metro by T-Mobile
locations in Hudson County
By Daniel Israel - July 11, 2022
The U.S. Department of Labor has recovered $353,945 in back wages and
liquidated damages for 79 sales associates at 12 New Jersey T-Mobile
locations whose owners willfully denied the employees overtime wages
for hours over 40 in a work week.
Investigators with the department's Wage and Hour Division
found that Morad Marashli and Kabaeil Barakat failed to pay the
associates overtime at time-and-one-half their required rates of pay
when required by law. Instead, they paid them in cash, off the books
at straight time rate.

That figures out to about $4,480 per employee.

Subject: In a Post-Roe World, the Future of Digital Privacy Looks
Even Grimmer
The sheer amount of tech tools and knowledge required to discreetly
seek an abortion underlines how wide open we are to surveillance.
By Natasha Singer and Brian X. Chen - July 13, 2022
Welcome to the post-Roe era of digital privacy, a moment that
underscores how the use of technology has made it practically
impossible for Americans to evade ubiquitous tracking.
In states that have banned abortion, some women seeking out-of-state
options to terminate pregnancies may end up following a long list of
steps to try to shirk surveillance -- like connecting to the internet
through an encrypted tunnel and using burner email addresses -- and
reduce the likelihood of prosecution.

Subject: OAN's latest desperate move proves that Verizon should drop
them too
After losing DirecTV amid lawsuits and requests for blackmail, OAN is
now biting one of the only hands still feeding it
By Bobby Lewis
One America News Network is a small, violently bigoted, anti-democracy
network with a permanent victim complex and a penchant for attacking
its carriers with both on-air commentary and lawsuits. There is still
no reason whatsoever for any cable company to force all their
subscribers to pay for their garbage.
In recent days, OAN has begun attacking the telecom company Verizon
for targeting OAN and other right-wing news organizations & right
before the midterms. The issue, drawn from a Breitbart article that
inspired this wave of programming, appears to be largely a Guide to
Misinformation on Verizons corporate website, which does not mention
OAN.
