T-Mobile

This is one example of the company that violated human resource labor recently. The company violated the United States’ labor laws. The company blocked the workers from discussing any issue which are associated with the organizations work. The company is known for bashing out its competitors in the wireless business and the company found itself in hot water for bad treatment of its workers.

The law’s requirements

The policies of the company required the employees to work and not talk to each other. The workers who are found discussing issues which affects them in their working environment are being fired. The company executed the laws by ensuring that the worker’s social medias are supervised as a way of ensuring their loyalty to the law.

However, T-Mobile failed to implement these policies and it went ahead to break it literally. Coleman the former employee of the company revealed the way the company was treating its employees.
