    The economy will never bounce back if our government helps corporations like Verizon succeed, but only the top executives benefit from it, The middle class worker that actually works for his dollar, never see's a dime of it, leaving them without any extra money to spend.

    This is the email I sent to State Rep Cheryl Rivera after she crossed the picket line at the Riverdale Road Verizon Wireless in West Springfield, MA. and proceeded to tell our union members, that their vote didn't matter to her because they most likely weren't Springfield residents. She was also spotted in a nail salon shortly after boasting about it......... I am not a resident of you district, but I do have friends and family members who are. I am advising you this message has reach MD, VA and DC. The idea that you are chair for the Labor Workforce Development Joint Committee, is disgusting.. You mentioned your father was a Union member, shame on you, you know better. There is highly publicized coverage of this bargaining disagreement between the Union and Verizon. Then to also read you were in a Nail Salon boasting your comment, UNPROFESSIONAL.. I have personally forwarded your comments, responses to calls and emails to my friends and family, my State Representative, New York's polication, etc. If we the people have Represetative's with your character in the house fighting for Union, bargaining and middle class rights.............GOD BLESS AMERICA Sincerely, Caprice Cooper Maryland Resident

    stop union busting and corporate greed. No CEO/figurehead should be making $55k PER DAY. Companies with billions of dollars in profits SHOULD support their workers benefits & pensions. It's not unreasonable. Not only for vz, but for everyone.

    IN THE ECONOMY THAT WE HAVE TODAY I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF ALL IF A FEDERAL MEDIATOR WAS ESTABLISHED... 45000 NON WORKING , NO HEALTHCARE BENEFITS, NO WEEKLY INCOME IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP NORTH EAST. I MYSELF WILL LOSE MY HEALTHCARE PROVIDER ONCE THEY CANCEL. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THEM BACK BECAUSE I HAVE A " GRANDFATHERED" PLAN. THIS MEANS ONCE CANCELLED I CANNOT GET IT BACK , HAVING GRAVES DISEASE I HAVE THE BEST PLAN FOR ME NOW AND GOING FORWARD WILL SUFFER. NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF MY HEALTHCARE WHILE ON STRIKE WITH THE BENENFITS. COBRA IS BEING OFFERED BUT THEY WOULD LIKE US TO PAY 100% UP FRONT .. FOR ME THAT WOULD BE APROXIMATELY 7647.00!! PLEASE ASSIST THE MIDDLE CLASS .... THANK YOU!

    We need a mediator immediately. Verizon is not bargaining in good faith. There are 45,000 jobs on the line here. Please help!

    I remember the president saying he would "personally come walk the picket line if any unions' collective bargaining rights were threatened"
