- T-Mobile (TMUS -0.9%) workers are keeping up a (very early) move for unionization with the opening of a field office in Kansas.
- Only a small number of workers have signed up at the Wichita, Kansas, office. But it's open to spread the word about the union and its issues, including pay equity between newer and older workers and shift scheduling, according to Angela Melvin, who's helping the effort.
- Unionization has been on the decline in telecommunications, and is more prevalent at the older incumbents (AT&T and Verizon). But a new deal for Verizon employees that came after one of the longest U.S. strikes in recent years has encouraged unionization-friendly employees.
- T-Mobile is set to report earnings before the opening bell on Wednesday.
