Cingular Wireless:
A Partner with its Unions

So often you hear about companies that fight their own workers with anti-union policies. In the telecommunications industry, Verizon is one such company.

But did you know that there is one company that actually values its workers by rejecting bad business and anti-union practices? That company is Cingular and it is the nation's top wireless carrier.

About 38,000 Communications Workers of America members work at Cingular, and the union reports that the company engages in fair labor negotiations.

Cingular proves that even in a highly competitive industry like telecommunications, sound labor policies and financial success can go hand-in-hand. Like a growing number of employers, Cingular respects its workers and their rights, including the right to join a union. And that’s something to think about the next time an anti-union company like Verizon asks you to re-up your contract.
