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 union, which is in drawn-out contract talks with Cablevision, labeled Dolan a ?Grinch? for stalling negotiations with 280 company technicians and dispatchers in Brooklyn.
?He is a greedy person pretending to be philanthropist; he?s Scrooge!? barked Tim Dubnau, an organizer for Communications Workers of America Local 1109.
But event attendees said the union members picked the wrong time and place to air their grievances.
?I?m a pancreatic-cancer survivor, and it?s unfortunate that they have to protest an event like this,? said Scott Nelson, 59, who lives in Minnesota.
