Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Treat Deutsche Telekom workers fairly

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am writing to express my concern regarding attempts by Deutsche Telekom (DT) to roll back standards for thousands of workers employed by your company in Germany. I am in full support of the workers--members of the union ver.di--who are fighting back against these attacks. I strongly urge you to drop your harsh demands of the workers you wish to transfer to the T-Service unit. The draconian measures you favor are unnecessary and will adversely affect thousands of working families in Germany. You are doing damage to the brand of Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile.

I will be closely following this situation, and sincerely hope that you will play a positive role in reaching a fair resolution with the union's leadership. I will factor in your company's treatment of workers-- in Germany and everywhere else around the world-- in choosing which wireless telephone service to use.

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:
June 13, 2007
