Union Protesters Disrupt Cablevision Meeting
Police were called in at Cablevision Systems Corp.?s annual meeting on Thursday to disperse a group of protestors disgruntled about an ongoing labor dispute with the company. Tension leading up to the incident began over a year ago when the Communications Workers of America accused Cablevision of firing 22 Brooklyn employees who chose to join the union. The case is set to appear before the NLRB. The protestors were made up of shareholders associated with the CWA. Cablevision stated that the protestors had violated a ?clear set of rules? that outline shareholder meetings.
