10:30am today, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston. Drop by to say hello to Verizon’s head accountant.

The strike is the largest in the nation since 74,000 General Motors workers walked out for two days in 2007, although some union leaders warned that the Verizon strike could last much longer because the two sides remain far apart.

“Verizon has put on the table the most aggressive set of contract demands we’ve ever seen,” said Robert Master, a spokesman for the communications workers. “From our perspective, this hugely profitable company that made $20 billion over the last four years, despite the worst economy in 75 years, seems determined to turn tens of thousands of secure middle-class jobs into lower-wage, much less secure jobs.”

So $20 billion in profits was somehow turned into severe cutbacks for workers? This strike is going to be big. Come out to support Verizon workers at 6pm this Thursday in Post Office Square.
