CWA Wins Settlement in Dispute about T-Mobile’s Social Networking Policy

Another win for freedom of speech!

In February 2011, CWA filed an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB against T-Mobile USA over the company’s restrictive and overly broad policies against employees’ freedom to discuss workplace issues on social networking sites (learn more here).

Last week, the National Labor Relations Board settled CWA’s charge against T-Mobile, before the case went to trial. As part of the settlement, T-Mobile is now required to inform all of its employees that they will revise their Social Networking Policy so that workers may discuss work related issues on Facebook and similar websites without fear of reprisal.
