Union Thugs Hit New Low, Protest Cancer Research Event In NYC
By REBECCA HARSHBARGER and BILL SANDERSON
Disgruntled union workers put their fight against Cablevision over the fight against cancer at a Times Square protest last night.
About 50 members of the Communications Workers of America Local 1109 disrupted a benefit for cancer research at the Hard Rock Cafe, carrying signs and blaring music as attendees streamed in.
Cablevision CEO James Dolan, whose rock band performed at the event, told The Post that the workers? actions are ?despicable.?
?They think being disruptive for their personal gain is more important than beating pancreatic cancer,? he said. ?Their values are twisted. I?m surprised at the depth of their lowness. Everyone who deals with them should take note. It?s shameful.?
The benefit was expected to raise $1.75 million for the Lustgarten Foundation, which funds pancreatic-cancer research.
The foundation is named for Cablevision exec Marc Lustgarten, who died of pancreatic cancer in 1999. Cablevision pays all the foundation?s administrative costs, and the foundation says that all the money raised last night will go to research.
