Hip-hop hot shot Jay-Z is getting hammered by carpenters for using nonunion labor for the facelift of his Manhattan club 40/40.

But the carpenters union, which erected five inflatable rats outside the Chelsea joint this week, has gone too far by shouting the N-word at management, according to Jay-Z's rep.

"The union is trying to bully 40/40 to hire union workers. They were shouting racial slurs. It was really inappropriate protesting," said Lauren Menache, a spokeswoman for the Brooklyn-born singer.

Pathetic, they think they are entitled to get every job, get every dollar and fuck whoever gets in their way.

They've gone from an apparatus that protects workers rights and such to a gang of idiot thugs.

I've had more trouble with union workers then anyone else. I cannot blame Jay Z one bit. I try to stay away from union workers as much as I possibly can.

be careful, tdongz will come in here and call you an idiot because you're not helping someone provide for their family of four. ::)

Hey Tim,

I used the Sous Vide machine last night and made the best Steak I have ever eaten.  I am in love with this thing!!!!!   Let me ask you about Garlic.  I didn`t use any as I think raw garlic once in the bath would not be so great as I think it needs the benefit of the Maillard Reaction in order to not overpower any meat.  130 just did not seem to me to be enough to coax the flavor I was looking for from Garlic for my Steak.

Do you ever Sous Vide garlic with any meats and do you Roast it first?

I had benefits while working there part time and making way more than 8:50 a hour. You got fucked, son.  :D I was there years ago and was making $13-14 a hour and skill pay for working the tower. You must have been a unloader or a loader.  :-\

Unions can be a good thing. They ensure pay raises,vacation time and health coverage etc
But there is no need for racial slurs.

You only hate unions because Rush told you to.

If you ever had an original thought it would die of loneliness.

If you mean 13 y/o being able to get a work permit to work at a summer job - yes, we need to bring that back.
