Nice piece about a very important strike. Verizon's demands are pure class war. The company is doing quite well and could easily afford across-the-board raises for its employees, instead it is exacting its pound of flesh precisely because it can. Corporations are intrinsically rapacious things, and the macroeconomic climate is favorable for the pillaging of workers, so Verizon seizes the opportunity.
