Why TU?
In Germany, Deutsche Telekom respects the right of its workers to union representation and collective bargaining. When Deutsche Telekom took over T-Mobile USA (then VoiceStream) in 2000, it was expected that the company would bring with it the same enlightened labor practices that it currently practices in Germany and other parts of Europe. However, in the U.S., T-Mobile has fiercely opposed any union activity among their 36,000 workers.
