TheVoiceOfJoyce After reading that the three largest wireless carriers are committing wage theft and worse. Don’t tell me labor is responsible for Inflation. We need Union wages and benefits. The monopolies are raking in cash and not paying Labor. How is this time period difference from the Gilded Age?

The sector, dominated by AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, which together reported $337.1bn in revenue in 2022, is now plagued by wage theft, security issues, overworked staff and health and safety problems, according to a new report.

The study, by the Communications Workers of America and National Employment Law Project, found the three largest wireless carriers in the US have increasingly outsourced retail operations to authorized dealers and sellers. That has undermined collective bargaining rights for these workers and resulted in degraded working conditions in comparison with corporate owned and operated retail stores.
