"This is an egregious example of corporate abuse — among the worst we have witnessed during the six years of this administration," Azzopardi said in a release. "Verizon’s negligence is astounding and as a result, hard-working New Yorkers will lose their jobs."
State Assemblyman Harry Bronson represents the 138th district. His area district includes Henrietta. Bronson called it "extremely disappointing news."
"The reality is that there’s a corporation, Verizon, which by all accounts is profitable and successful," Bronson said. "They have money that they can expend, yet they decided that what they’re going to do is downsize and cut jobs in this area.
"It’s just unfortunate, because we have hard-working people here in the state of New York, and certainly in the greater Rochester area. They have dedicated themselves to this company."
