Subject: Federal Court Rules that T-Mobile Illegally Prevented CWA
Member from Emailing Co-Workers
On July 23, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit found that
T-Mobile broke the law in 2015 when management of the Wichita, Kan.,
call center reprimanded a customer service representative after she
sent a message through her work email account inviting coworkers to
join the campaign to organize their union, T-Mobile Workers United
(TU-CWA Local 6457).

'Welcome to the Mesh, Brother': Guerrilla Wi-Fi Comes to New York
NYC Mesh, a band of a few dozen tech volunteers, takes on Verizon and
the big "incumbent providers," with the promise of inexpensive

Daniel Heredia peered across rooftops, surveying the derelict
satellite dishes and rusty television antennas of Brownsville,
Brooklyn. Wearing a motorcycle jacket and boots, he crouched on Andre
Cambridge's roof, trying to see if he had a clear line of
sight to the Riverdale Avenue Community School a half-mile off. A
large tree was possibly in the way.
