i completely agree with you arcq12... AT&T will soon monopolize this business in telecoms...

a merger never create job because you no longer need the work force of both company.

The CWA is biased towards their own kind. I can think of no instance where two merging companies within the same industry created jobs. This fiasco has become overly redundant. Additionally, I'm insulted that ATT and the CWA think we are ignorant enough to believe this propoganda.

ha, such liars. They'd say anything to get this unlikely merger passed, well they're not fooling the Department of Justice that's for sure.

I don't believe this merger will go through... And just because it is creating jobs does not mean that this deal is a good thing.

Yes it is obvious that this merger will cut jobs. but Sprint is trying to hide the 'REAL DEAL' when the merger comes through by saying that.

Sprint magic made Nextel disappeared forever and ATT magic will be the same to Cingular and T-Mobile.

merger would create jobs eventually and on the long run would destroy a lot in the yellow NOW....

The job creation has nothing to do with t-mobile merger but their LTE rollout, LOL. And that job creation is temporary. And give it time, they may promise the t-mobile jobs now, but 6 months later AT&T will announce some huge layoff cutting 10% of the workforce because of some poor profit forecast or something or to secure funding on cutting network buildout, etc. When mergers happen, jobs are lost. This is fact. Mergers are done between comapnies that offer similar services to cut the fat so to speak, to increase profit. Cutting employees means increased profit.

Never would of believed that people that hate capitalism (ATT buying out T-Mobile) would hate unions too. I guess people just really don't like ATT.

Are these jobs created before or after it lets go a huge chunk of the force? Or are we doing the "technically all Tmobile people will be fired, but we will hire back a few of them as ATT employees and call it a new job" shell game?

Yes I believe.
After killing 141,000 t-mobile work position yes, will be create 96,000.

I dont want to see any jobs lost, but I would like to see att add jobs because we really need jobs here in the states. Also att is one of the few companies that is still hiring americans in this crazy economy and thats one thing no one can say is bad.
