In mid-July, Congressmen from New York and Connecticut began to express solidarity with workers who were trying to become the first set of T-Mobile employees to form a bargaining unit in the face of staunch any-union sentiment from the company. Support was entered in to the Congressional and printed in newspapers.

About a week later, the first ever union was formed by 15 T-Mobile workers in Connecticut.

Now, another Congressman from New York, Paul Tonko, has stepped up, meeting with T-Mobile workers from his district, D-21, to express support for the effort. The meeting was captured on video by the T-Mobile unionization supporters, WeWorkBetterTogether.com:
