NYC Doorman Standoff Ends with Tentative Pact Between Unions and Luxury Landlords
NYC’s doormen and porters in more than 34,000 luxury buildings avoided a strike after 32BJ SEIU reached a tentative deal with the Realty Advisory Board, averting disruptions for more than half a million residents. Details were not immediately released, but the dispute centered on healthcare cost contributions and cost-cutting pressures tied to a rent-freeze pledge for stabilized apartments; officials planned to brief the press later Friday as negotiations concluded.
