It takes guts to walk a picket line, but, when a political leader shows up to march too, it becomes so much easier.

Union members don't ask that much. They ask their employers to give them a contract deserving of the dignity an employee should have. In the case of Verizon they need to have a good contract with it's employees. Verizon needs the middle class and it needs it's union. Good salary and good benefits provide for longevity in employment. Longevity of employment provides an employer with a rock solid product. The employees need Verizon as much as Verizon needs them. A contract should honor both of them.

Bernie Sanders (click here) is holding a celebrity-studded rally and indie rock concert that will stream live from Washington Square Park in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City on Wednesday, and thousands were standing in line for the event early in the afternoon even though no one would be admitted until 5 p.m.; the star-packed roster of speakers and performers is not scheduled to hit the stage until 8 p.m. Eastern Time....

As to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, the polls are tightening. In March Hillary Clinton has a lead of 21 percent. Today, that lead is half, now 10 percent. Bernie Sanders is a force to contend with and the people love him.

Bernie is not going anywhere. He isn't on the campaign trail because he simply wants to win the Presidency. Bernie is running for President and building a movement. He is not going anywhere.
