"Fat Cat" and Protesters Play Game "Billionaire CEO or Underpaid Worker?" Deliver Bags of $$$ to Wasserstein's Rockefeller Center Office New York, NY--Activists and underpaid workers from local Atria Senior Living facilities protested outside the Manhattan offices of Lazard, Ltd today. Workers condemned Lazard CEO Bruce Wasserstein for taking a $100+ million payday last year despite bad conditions at Atria facilities and poverty wages for the company's employees. A Lazard-affiliated private equity buyout fund owns Atria. "I live in a basement apartment in Queens and couldn't afford health care when I was working at Atria. I brought home $300 a week after 10 years at Atria, and this Wasserstein guy is making over $100 million? If he invested just a little of that in Atria facilities, they could increase staffing for residents, offer affordable healthcare and a living wage to hardworking employees," said Radika Munna, a former employee of Atria Lynbrook on Long Island who was fired on Thanksgiving Day after 10 years on the job because she was active in forming a union for a voice in care and working conditions.
