Verizon Workers Marched for the 99% in 2011
As Verizon continues to offer proposals aimed to destroy middle-class jobs and cut benefits, Verizon workers are hitting the streets. Verizon represents not just the 1%, but the top one-tenth of 1% in this country. The company?s five highest executives took home $258 million in salary and benefits over the last four years. Yet, Verizon paid no federal income taxes from 2008 to 2010 and instead received $951 million in tax rebates. On Thursday, November 10, the Verizon Workers' March for the 99% will set off for New York City from downtown Albany to shine a spotlight on the corporate greed run rampant at Verizon.
