This closes out the four cases filed in Albuquerque, NM; Wichita, KS; Charleston, SC, and New York City, but there are more in the works. The National Labor Relations Board will have another trial in front of it in Charleston, South Carolina this June, and others are in various stages. So, while the CWA (which currently represents workers at Verizon and AT&T) is certainly happy about the outcome in this case, it knows the war isn't over yet. Even if it manages to bring T-Mobile employees into the union, it will likely be a constant struggle to keep the un-carrier honest.

T-Mobile is, predictably, downplaying the decision saying that it relates to a "technical issue" with "policies that are common to companies across the country." More importantly, a spokesperson told Engadget that "there are no allegations that any employee has been impacted by these policies." Of course, charges that employees have been unable to organize would seem to be a direct impact.
