Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam took a big shot at Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Wednesday for siding with striking Verizon workers and criticizing McAdam's company.
Thousands of East Coast Verizon workers walked off the job earlier in the day after the company and the Communications Workers of America union failed to come to a compromise over months-old benefits negotiations.
In a LinkedIn post, McAdam criticized Sanders' support for the Verizon workers, which the CEO characterized as "uninformed" and "contemptible."
"I understand that rhetoric gets heated in a Presidential campaign," McAdam wrote. "I also get that big companies are an easy target for candidates looking for convenient villains for the economic distress felt by many of our citizens."
