The CWA issued a statement saying that shareholders allied with the union had "asked the company tough questions about the potential impact" of the labor dispute.

At the meeting, Mr. Dolan defended his actions and pointed out that the unionized Brooklyn workers have recently petitioned the NLRB to schedule a vote about whether to continue their affiliation with the CWA. He added that he looked forward to a pending NLRB hearing. After the protesters were escorted out, Mr. Dolan said he'll entertain questions about "anything but labor!"

Cablevision issued a statement after the meeting saying, "This is a shareholder meeting with a clear set of rules. The CWA attempted to disrupt the meeting; they were asked to refrain and when they did not, they were asked to leave. The matter is now in the hands of the authorities."[/
