Global Unions File Complaint Against T-Mobile's Parent
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, in a letter to the U.S. State Department, said the AFL-CIO “fully supports” the complaint and the effort by T-Mobile workers to exercise their right to join a union and bargain collectively. Read the full complaint here .
The unions are calling on the German government, which owns 30 percent of Deutsche Telekom, to ensure the company allows all workers to participate in union activities in a free and fair manner.
UNI General Secretary Philip Jennings said:
The OECD guidelines, to which both Germany and the United States are signatories, have set a single standard that all governments must promote with employers, including the right of workers at multinationals to form or join trade unions of their choice. The OECD provides a forum in which governments can work together to share experiences and seek solutions to common problems.
Deutsche Telekom’s corporate behavior, which is aimed at preventing T-Mobile workers from joining a union has brought the company under global scrutiny. In September 2010 it was the subject of the Human Rights Watch report .
Unions around the world have launched a global campaign to promote the rights of T-Mobile workers and all Deutsche Telekom workers. Led by CWA, ver.di, the AFL-CIO, DGB of Germany, UNI Global Union and the International Trade Union Confederation, the campaign is delivering a strong message that we expect respect of labor rights from a company that has a proven track record of collective bargaining and social dialogue in its home country.
“Time and again, Deutsche Telekom has attracted negative attention by conducting an anti-union corporate policy against employees in their international subsidiaries,” said Lothar Schröder, a member of the ver.di board. “The company must be held accountable.”
If the proposed merger between AT&T and T-Mobile is approved, the T-Mobile’s 20,000 workers will have the right to join a union without intimidation because of a neutrality agreement between with AT&T and CWA.
