As of Midnight last evening, 45,000 Verizon Telephone workers are on strike.

This strike is a BFD. Even as the company is raking in record earnings, Verizon workers are fighting a proposed decimation of their compensation and benefits package. The company is negotiating like a bunch of tea baggers - they are not budging from their original unreasonable demands.
