    It concerns me that the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11th is approaching and the government has not encouraged Verizon/Union to work harder to negotiate a contract. When the planes hit on Sept. 11th 2001 cell phones did not work and it was the landlines that provided communication. Please encourage Verizon to at least let the workers come back and work under their old contract...the Union offered this all along and Verizon refused.

    reform is one thing but Union Busting has to stop. We are all hard working American's who are trying to get a head in life. Pols think we are handed everything, but we Collective Bargain every and anything we have this day. Reform should be done, but not to the working people who pay into their pensions and don't but corners, Unions are what built this country and now people are trying to tear them a part, NO NEED! Wrong approach!

    If we don't protect the middle class and good faith collective bargaining we will all be worse off. Help end the strike and protect the middle class.

    As a non union worker I am proud that the CWA is standing up for what is right. Being able to support a family is the American Dream. It seems as though people have forgotten that over time. Ask me how to fix the economy...I will tell you that unless Verizon starts negotiating the economy will only get worse. Goodbye recession-hello depression...that's what will happen if Verizon is successful.

    It is clear that Corporate America is out of control from the compensation that CEO's receive to the taxes that are not paid. The true job creators in America are middle class people not corporations. Corporations are leveraging the ability to outsource jobs against the middle class and the only body that can stop all of this inequity is the government where do you stand with corporations or middle class people.

    In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up. "We must close union offices, confiscate their money and put their leaders in prison. We must reduce workers salaries and take away their right to strike." Adolph Hitler, May 2, 1933 Please defend the middle class!
