Labor and the left in the AT&T - T-Mobile merger

 "What could a telecom merger mean for economic democracy?" asks  Josh Eidelson in an article published in Dissent.  AT&T is merging with T-Mobile.  Is that a bad thing because it limits competition in a communications industry?  Or a good thing because AT&T is a union shop and T-Mobile is not?  Eidelson argues the latter in this piece, read and commented on here by the Old Mole's Joe Clement.  For an opinion piece that attacks progressives for suppporting the merger, check out this NY Times editorial.
