Just days before thousands of commercial janitorial workers were set to go on strike, their union reached a tentative contract agreement Wednesday night with the proprietors of New York’s biggest commercial real estate buildings.
The Realty Advisory Board (RAB), which represents the owners and operators of office buildings, agreed to the new contract that covers around 20,000 office janitors and commercial cleaners on Thursday morning, as their previous deal was set to expire on Dec. 31.
