On December 1, 2011, locked-out Sotheby's art handlers confronted Sotheby's board member Diana Taylor at her meeting of the Hudson River Park Trust. These workers, locked out of their jobs for 4 months, asked Taylor why she isn't helping New York's working families.

Teamsters Local 814 members have been joined by Occupy Wall Street in protests against Sotheby's callous treatment of its workers. Taylor serves on the board of Brookfield Properties, which recently ordered the eviction of the Occupy Wall Street encampment at Zuccotti Park. She is also Mayor Michael Bloomberg's domestic partner.

In the video, Taylor states, "I have only one thing to say to you. I have had one conversation with [Sotheby's CEO] Bill Ruprecht about this, and I told him that if he accedes to any of your demands, I will resign from the board."

  • @foredeck100 we live in a republic you impotent fucking moron. not a democracy. get the fuck outta here you socialist fuck

  • This was just terrible. What a bitch

  • Officials like this make a mockery of our democratic system. This isn't democracy, this is dictatorship by the wealthy elite. This is what fascism looks and sounds like.

  • Shes a bitch

  • it should be illegal for anyone in a position of power to ignore any rational questions posed by anyone.

    it is insane that she can just go on with her meeting and not engage with the protesters in a reasonable discourse about whatever topic they wish to discuss.

    as it stands now, people in power are mad with it, they have shed any resemblance of being a representative of the people.

  • cock sucking whore. VIVA LA REVOLUTION

  • Taylor. Make like a Girl Scout and take a hike.

  • She is psychopath, so no morality, just profit, even if by corruption. People like this can't be reckoned with, they need to be removed from position of power.

  • Arrogant b***h (rhymes with witch). A real "let them eat cake moment." She should be ashamed.

  • Oh -Resign,Resign. Pleassssssssssssssssssssssssss­e.
