T-Mobile merger with Sprint would cost 28,000 jobs: Union | ZDNet
These jobs would consist of 24,000 in overlapping retail store closures, and 4,500 from “duplicative functions at corporate headquarters in Overland Park, KS, and Bellevue, WA”, it said.
“The proposed T-Mobile and Sprint merger is against the public interest,” CWA president Chris Shelton said. “The merger would result in massive job losses totalling more than 28,000, while offering no countervailing benefits for the public. Unless the companies make a binding commitment not to eliminate jobs in their proposed merger, to stop violating federal labor laws, and to fully respect workers’ rights, the FCC should not approve this merger.”
