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.

Wow is it just me but it looks like the Commies are coming to a point of eating eachother.
Only yesterday when I sad and I was lonely....
I say goodbye to love....
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down...
Maybe not relevant but some pretty legit outfit last week did a great spot on the stingy WORST TIPPERS of the rich and famous, and Jay-Z was either #1 or #2 on the list.
What ethnic group dominated the top 15 or so slots, do you think?
YEP..!
I hate all unions. Not just public sector unions. And I hate the rank and file same as their leaders. Can’t have one without the other.
I don’t know who to root for...;-)
When this rapper shouts it, it’s “music”.
When Union thugs shout it, it’s “hate speech”.
I always love it when people use their free speech to lecture the rest of us on the evils of such things.
Wow, FIVE inflatable rubber rats! The rental bill on those babies must be really something....
I like Beyoncé, she’s a class act and a lovely woman. Since she’s married to Jay-Z I kind of give him a pass and assume him to be a decent enough guy.
Patriot Babe this is a real article not a blog or vanity so you could have posted it in “News/Activism” for a wider audience.
So Jay what’s his name is spending 10 million on a renovation hiring a whole bunch of folks in this crap economy and all he gets is grief from his fellow obummer supporters.
Lesson learned Jay?
>What ethnic group dominated the top 15 or so slots, do you think?<
No need (wink). Was a bartender for a nightclub back in jr college. The homeys are damn cheap. My current GF was a server for IHOP during her pre-med days and she said the same thing.
Apologize about that. Like I have said this is my second post in a very very very long time. I only post replies but never a new thread.
Admin is it possible to move it to News/Activism?
"Non-Union"?
Well, Jay snuggled up to Obama and uses the “N word” all the time. Unions just suck. I’m truly torn.
I’ll go with the Maxine solution. They can both go to hell.
I thought leftists were so tolerant.... Oh yeah, only when it comes to abortion and perversion.
Don’t apologize! I was giving advice not an admonishment!
Anyway great post. It’s funny reading about jay-z reaping the benefits of voting dem.
Labor is imploding in a spectacular fashion, starting with assaults on healthcare protesters, Obamacare assaults, The SEIU, Hoffa’s comments and now this...
Class act? Hardly.

They look like such good kids.
I think it's a bit over the top, actually. The most I've ever seen is two and that was more than enough to block a lane of traffic and reroute pedestrian traffic.
I know...
Pity
