Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam took issue with Bernie Sanders putting Verizon on his list of large corporations that are “destroying the moral fabric” of America as employees at Verizon strike across the East Coast.
McAdam, in a LinkedIn post entitled “Feeling The Bern of Reality—The Facts About Verizon and The ‘Moral Economy,’” said that “the senator’s uninformed views are, in a word, contemptible.”
Bernie Sanders made a point of joining the picket lines himself on Flatbush Avenue in downtown Brooklyn on Wednesday.
“This is about a company that wants to take health-care benefits away from its workers, but somehow they have enough money to pay $20 million a year,” Sanders said. “These workers are standing up against injustice, and I stand with them.”
Sanders is hoping to bolster support ahead of the New York primary on April 19, picking up endorsements from local Transport Workers Union earlier on Wednesday.
