The US subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile Us, has committed itself to the American Telekom regulatory authority FCC for a extensive task of initiatives for diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI).
The “Welt am Sonntag” (Wams) reports. In a letter to FCC authority director Brendan Carr, the company leads that specific goals in the area have been abandoned and two advisory boards have been dissolved on the subject.
A spokesman for the parent company in Bonn generally said on DPA request that Deutsche Telekom remains committed to its values. At the same time, she secures “the complete compliance with all legal requirements in Europe and the USA”.
On the day after the letter from the end of March, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the takeover of the cable network operator Lumos, according to “Wams” report, as can be seen from documents from the authority. Bredan Carr as the confidant of US President Donald Trump had previously announced that the FCC would not have fusions and acquisitions of companies that “promote even unfair forms of DEI discrimination”.
Trump leads a campaign against diversity and inclusion
Diversity programs had been introduced to counteract historical disadvantages from blacks or women. In US companies they are currently being returned on a broad front. US President Donald Trump and his government have a campaign against the programs known in the United States under Abbreviation Dei (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion).
As an argument, it is claimed that some population groups preferred others. Trump, his minister and also Tech billionaire Elon Musk lead, through such initiatives the competence suffers. There is no evidence of this. After partly legal pressure, many US companies decided to stamp or return their diversity programs. These include tech heavyweights such as Google and the Facebook group Meta.
T-Mobile considers “variety of backgrounds” to be central
According to the report, the letter from the Telekom US subsidiary to the head of the authorities also says: T-Mobile is best “if his workforce and suppliers contribute a variety of skills and backgrounds into our joint endeavors to be the best mobile phone company in the country.” And makes it clear: “We will remain even obliged to these principles.”
