Sanders cheers strikers in Brooklyn as 39,000 Verizon workers walk out
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders cheered on striking Verizon workers Wednesday after 39,000 landline and cable employees walked off the job.
Sanders told workers at a picket line in Brooklyn they displayed courage by standing up to the telecommunications giant.
“I know your families are going to pay a price,” Sanders shouted. “On behalf of every worker in America who is facing the same kind of pressure, thank you for what you’re doing. We’re going to win this thing!”
