Study suggests T-Mobile-Sprint merger would cut employee pay from all remaining major U.S. carriers
8

A new study of the proposed T-Mobile-Sprint merger shows that if the deal is closed, employees working in the company owned stores would face wage cuts. In addition, the report from the Economic Policy Institute and the Roosevelt Institute (via The Kansas City Star) adds that wages for those working for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile authorized resellers will also be lowered following the merger, if it gets approved.
The report adds that employee wages could be cut even if there were no layoffs. The study's authors base this on a concept called monopsony, which allows employers to pay employees less than what they are worth due to the lack of competition for that labor.
"Monopsony power is when employers have power to set wages unilaterally, and workers generally earn less than they are worth. Concentration of employers confers monopsony power because workers lack the job opportunities that would ensure pay would track their productivity."-Report from the Economic Policy Institute and the Roosevelt Institute
