                                <td><p>Jenifer, last weekend 45,000 Verizon workers went on strike. You only have to look at a few numbers to know why:</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
    <li>$258 million—the compensation for Verizon’s top five executives over the past four years.</li>
    <li>$6 billion—Verizon’s annualized profits for 2011.</li>
    <li>$6,800—the increase in health care costs each worker could face if Verizon gets its way.</li>
</ul>
<p>While Verizon executives are swimming in oceans of cash, they are trying to kick their workers out of the middle class.</p>
