Subject: Has ATT or others misled on monthly cost?
MacRumors
Had a rather curious move back to iPhone. I went from an Samsung S10+
to the iPhone 13 pro max. I was at an ATT store and asked the guy to
calculate out the cost for me for monthly service along with estimate
on other costs.
First time around, I had to contact ATT and mentioned their billing me
far higher than what was stated by the sales person at their
store. They were quick to adjust and this month, sure enough the bill
went up nearly 16 dollars and they said the previous adjustment was
temporary. This is all rather screwy. I will engaging ATT on Monday to
see if I can get this adjusted. I am unsure of any recourse if they
are insistent.

private providers will offer what is effectively free service for some
eligible customers. Others who qualify may get sizable discounts.

Subject: Unions continue pushing into Big Tech, telecom companies
By Mike Dano
Unions have long been a factor in the telecommunications industry, as
workers look to gain leverage in negotiations over salary, conditions
and benefits. But in recent months the topic has taken on a heightened
weight amid a rise in inflation coupled with a fresh interest in
unions, particularly among employees at big technology companies.
Further, President Biden is helping to shine a light on the topic
with pro-union messaging and meetings with employees attempting to
form unions.
