More than 20,000 unionized commercial maintenance workers in New York City are on the verge of authorizing a strike — threatening to severely impact the commercial real estate industry in the Big Apple.
Members of the Service Employees International Union (32BJ SEIU), which represents mostly cleaners and repair workers, will gather on Wednesday outside Sixth Avenue and 50th Street to vote on authorizing the union’s first strike in 27 years. As many as 10,000 workers are expected to rally.
