Workers Lost Ground During Recession As Bosses Gained

Verizon To Lay Off 1,700 Workers After Paying CEO $22 Million Last Year

No doubt this is due to the abuse of power by unions, right? Think again:

At the same time, Verizon has demanded sizable concessions from workers in its negotiations with unions, asking for the elimination of the company’s pension plan, increases in health care premiums, and extra leeway to outsource jobs, according to a release from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
