New York City Doormen Strike Averted with Tentative Union Agreement
A tentative agreement has been reached between the union representing over 34,000 doormen and porters in New York City and the Realty Advisory Board, which represents landlords of luxury residential buildings. The agreement, reached after extensive negotiations, prevents a strike that was set to begin on Monday. The four-year contract maintains workers' health benefits without requiring premium contributions and includes a wage increase of $4.50 per hour by 2030, along with a 15% pension boost. The union, 32BJ SEIU, and the Realty Advisory Board announced the deal at the Midtown Hilton, highlighting the importance of the agreement for both workers and residents. The deal is pending a vote by union members.
