Verizon CEO comments

[LiberalArkie]

Edit to add

Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam took a big shot at Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Wednesday for siding with striking Verizon workers and criticizing McAdam's company.
Thousands of East Coast Verizon workers walked off the job earlier in the day after the company and the Communications Workers of America union failed to come to a compromise over months-old benefits negotiations.

In a LinkedIn post, McAdam criticized Sanders' support for the Verizon workers, which the CEO characterized as "uninformed" and "contemptible."

"I understand that rhetoric gets heated in a Presidential campaign," McAdam wrote. "I also get that big companies are an easy target for candidates looking for convenient villains for the economic distress felt by many of our citizens."

3. Well, duh!

How dare he side with the slaves and peons that are shining light on Verizon and asking for more. It is hurting their profits -- and anyone that gets in the way of the honorable and mighty overlords... Err, I mean corporations is contemptible.

And to that I say: GO BERNIE!

candidate in the race. That's why he supports the workers - You POS.

I don’t want the support of McAdam, Immelt and their friends in the billionaire class. I welcome their contempt.

7. When I had DirecTV reinstalled for the election. I liked it when an installer came out in an

AT&T truck wearing an AT&T CWA shirt.

...after having been with them since the 90's. Not looking back.

8. The Verizon CEO's $200Mill Salary when he's cutting workers is what's contemptible.
