Verizon employees in upstate New York are joining the “Occupy” movement that began protesting Wall Street, but has since broadened to include criticism of some of America’s largest corporations.  Company employees are arriving at “Occupy” protests holding signs attacking the company for “destroying the middle class” through job and benefit cuts.  The protests are also impacting cable operators.  Several arrests were made this week by protestors at Comcast headquarters in Philadelphia.  Most of the protestors are concerned about jobs and the pervasive influence corporate lobbyists have on American public policy.  WBNG in Binghamton covers the protests against Verizon.  (2 minutes)
