Tim Tebow: Cut ties with worker abuser T-Mobile
T-Mobile treats its workers so badly that in one town doctors describe people as having the “T-Mobile disease.” I'm calling on you to cut ties with T-Mobile and to publicly show your solidarity with T-Mobile workers.
Why is this important?
NFL star Tim Tebow has made headlines for standing up for his religious beliefs and his passion for his faith. But he recently teamed up with notorious worker-abusing company T-Mobile to produce ads for the Super Bowl. Now, he has the chance to demonstrate the depth of his moral convictions by supporting T-Mobile workers who are fighting for their rights on the job.
T-Mobile has been using “brutal psychological terror” on its workers -- like verbal abuse, threats, and, in one workplace, forcing workers to wear dunce caps and sit in a corner if they don’t meet their quotas. Many workers have reported suffering from migraines, stroke symptoms, high-blood pressure, anxiety and depression because of the abuse. It’s gotten so bad that in one town that doctors describe people as having “T-Mobile disease.”
And when workers try to change their workplace environment, they’ve been fired, disciplined, and interrogated in basements and systematically told to not collectively voice their concerns.
Tim Tebow isn’t shy about using his celebrity status to take controversial stances. Now, he should stand up for worker rights by cutting ties with T-Mobile, sending a message that he won’t support a company that treats its workers this badly.
