Sonic Overload 8/8/11

At the outset, I’d like to offer my support for the 45,000 Verizon workers who have gone on strike after contract negotiations broke down on Saturday night. The unions involved are the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the Communcations Workers of America. I urge people not to cross their picket lines nor patronize Verizon if at all possible. What’s really sad is when you see other working class and middle class people expressing animosity towards union members when, instead, the animosity should be directed towards corporations like Verizon, whose CEO makes as much in a day as an average Verizon worker makes in a year. While the company rakes in huge profits, Verizon is attempting (according to a union spokesman quoted in the Boston Globe) to eliminate some holidays, such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Veteran’s Day, freeze pensions, and remove a clause in the contract that limits the company’s ability to lay off workers. I’m thoroughly sick of the attacks on working people in this country. You should be too.
