Second scam……

AT&T announced in November that it would invest "an additional $1 billion" if Congress passed a tax reform bill—but the telco never said what the exact level of investment would have been if the tax bill wasn't passed.

Similarly, when AT&T wanted the Federal Communications Commission to repeal its Title II net neutrality rules, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said that Title II regulation is "suppressive to investment."

AT&T got both the tax cut and the net neutrality repeal but then started laying employees off. AT&T's explanation of the layoffs demonstrates that the company's hiring practices are based on specific needs and changes in technology and are not direct responses to government actions.

AT&T was sued last week by a workers' union that is trying to stop the telco from instituting what it calls a "massive layoff." Thousands of employees are reportedly being laid off by the company, which reported $39.7 billion in revenue and $6.4 billion in operating income last quarter.

AT&T sued over layoffs—after promising more investment because of tax cut

Corporatocracy and Plutocracy at "work".......

Those At&T laid off workers should send some cute letters to McConnell, Ryan and, of course, some to the orange charlatan (if he could ever learn to read)

.....and the screwing of middle class workers goes on, while Trump cultists are busy "cheering" the tax scam.....

Its also time for elected democrats to grow a damn spine....

this says it all


We already knew about the layoffs.......

AT&T hands out bonuses to 200,000 workers, pink slips to 600 others

they need the cuts to go into effect in Q2 so they can pay people......right now those jobs were on the chopping block before the tax cut

So the conglomerate realized HIGH earning AND this sleazy conglomerate DEMANDED the tax cuts from the assholes in congress to help them do WHAT if they're laying off workers ???
