Diana Taylor adds insult to injury by serving on the board of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. Taylor is a Sotheby's director and girlfriend of Mayor "I have the seventh biggest army in the world" Bloomberg.

Sotheby’s has yet to let its locked-out workers back in after more than four months off the job due to disagreements over their union contract. So now the workers of the Local 814, the Teamsters union that includes art handlers at Sotheby’s high-end auctionhouse, have launched an email campaign comparing Sotheby’s CEO William Ruprecht to Scrooge and claiming the Teamsters have no money to care for their Tiny Tims. The catalyst? The locked-out workers are on the verge of losing their health insurance.Publicity like this pressures Sotheby's to do the right thing. So does an online petition, if it generates thousands of signatures. Add yours to the petition here.

The Mailman School is committed to principles of social justice and the promotion of health as a fundamental right of all human beings.Could Diana Taylor be any more clueless? Could Sotheby's be any more heartless?
