The headline kind of says it all:
James L. Dolan, a Consummate 1 Percenter:
Dolan breaks federal labor laws and fires union leaders with impunity; he mints money from a public cable monopoly; and he gets a property tax exemption worth $54 million this year for Madison Square Garden, a for-profit enterprise.
But you know what? Brooklyn Cablevision workers—Dolan's employees—just announced that after first battling to unionize and then battling to get a fair contract, they've voted to ratify a contract that gives them "very significant" raises, improved job security, and more. After the Brooklyn workers voted to unionize, Cablevision gave raises to workers in other locations, to discourage them from trying to organize.
