Workers across the district walked out at midnight on August 23 because AT&T was not bargaining in good faith and failed to send representatives to the bargaining table with the authority to make decisions. In a separate action, CWA members in South Florida initiated an unfair labor practice strike on August 22 after the company disciplined members for wearing union memorabilia and for participating in activities that are protected under the National Labor Relations Act. https://cwa-union.org/news/striking-cwa-members-push-att-southeast-reach-deal -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190827204650.GA32568@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2019 20:46:50 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Mexico: The Federal Telecommunications Institute Publish= ed A New Regulation Applicable To Mobile Service Providers by Bernardo Mart=C3=ADnez Garc=C3=ADa and Victor A.

It's a bizarre set of circumstances that has seen countless number (sic) of foreign nationals rejected from the U.S. after friends, family or even strangers send messages, images or videos over social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, and encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp, which are then downloaded to the traveler's phone. https://techcrunch.com/2019/08/27/border-deny-entry-united-states-social-media/ ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sat, 31 Aug 2019
