The Occupy Wall Street protesters are now targeting Danny Meyer, because he’s on the board of Sotheby’s, where there is a tense labor negotiation going on. “We will be here to make sure Danny Meyer is uncomfortable and anyone who supports him is uncomfortable…His restaurants will not be peaceful.” Please, leave Shake Shack alone! Some of us 99%ers eat dinner there. (Eater)
