CWA President Cummings Call for T-Mobile Boycott in Recent Webinar

On September 9, CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. addressed coalition allies during a call to announce a boycott of T-Mobile. The company is facing backlash for its aggressive union-busting, for cancelling its diversity programs to curry favor with the Federal Communications Commission, and for funneling billions of dollars to Elon Musk through its partnership with his Starlink service.

“T-Mobile has been among the worst labor law violators over the past 15 years,” said President Cummings. “Now T-Mobile is showing everyone what they really stand for. Not only is the company in business with a billionaire CEO who supports authoritarian governments around the world, but it also recently ended its diversity initiatives to appease the Trump regime so the administration would fast-track approval of two major acquisitions.” He added, “To win this fight, we must make it clear to corporations that being in bed with Donald Trump is bad for business.”

Other speakers included U.S. Representative Mark Pocan, President of the American Federation of Teachers Randi Weingarten, Bekah Hinojosa of the South Texas Environmental Justice Network and Evan Sutton with the Tesla Takedown Movement.

CWA members will be distributing flyers at T-Mobile store locations to inform customers about the boycott.
