Verizon unions to demonstrate in CEO's neighborhood.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The last time a union went a-marching to tiny Mendham Borough, population 5,077, a handsome piece of real estate in Morris County, it was the New Jersey Education Association and it was paying what was not exactly a courtesy call on Gov. Christie.

Christie, who wasn't even home at the time, actually lives in nearby Mendham Township, where there's no place to march. But it did give the borough's police chief, John Taylor, a chance to practice for Thursday night's march on another significant resident - the chief executive of Verizon Communications Inc.

Lowell McAdam runs a company now in the middle of the biggest recent strike in labor history, with 45,000 workers on picket lines along the East Coast.

The unions, the Communications Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, will be dropping by McAdam's house on Balbrook Drive, a curvy dead-end road with expensive homes in a neighborhood where the median family income tops $160,000.

1. I expect closed off streets and a heavy police presence. Either way,

it's bound to piss off his neighbors. :evilgrin:

2. If they're lucky, the protestors will face the police...

Verizon has hired Xe (formerly known as Blackwater) to provide security (aka bust heads).

3. EDIT - I read it as the STRIKERS hired Xe - thought that

was kind of odd.

This is downright scary - we know what Xe is capable of.
