MODERATORS
In a 2019 hearing scrutinizing the merger, Legere told the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology that after combining with Sprint, T-Mobile would have thousands more employees than the stand-alone firms combined in its first year.
“By 2024 we will have 11,000 more employees,” Legere said, according to a transcript of the hearing.
“Our critics are wrong about the impact on jobs,” Legere added, responding to a skeptical analysis from the Communications Workers of America labor union. “I have looked at their arguments and supposed analyses and they do not make sense. They ignore the facts. They don’t account for any areas where jobs will grow, like network integration or new customer call care centers.”
