never forget---------------because we are the ones that die ----------------------for sake of greed.

And as we speak the CWA Verizon Union workers are currently locked-out, because some CEO made 18 million last year doing exactly what-----------------sitting in a board room with other corporate suits determined to outsource work, for Wall Street, and because in 1992, The Telecommunication Act was signed by one Bill Clinton, so that these corporate suit can make millions.

Just like they did at Nabisco the Mondelz group, they were offered 130 million to upgrade the plants in Chicago, so now if people look on the back of chocolate chip cookies, Chip's Ahoy, they will see they are made in Mexico, and Hersey is doing the same thing---------because of NAFTA--------------and they wonder why people are upset-----------use one country against another------------------just for greed.







Honk---------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016
