New York doormen avert their strike plan
UNIFORMED doormen and apartment building workers reached a deal with New York building owners yesterday, narrowly averting a strike that would have left residents running elevators, disposing of trash and doing other chores themselves.
Some 30,000 unionized doormen, superintendents, handymen, concierges and porters had threatened to walk off the job just after midnight in a contract dispute with the owners of 3,222 New York City buildings.
The new contract with building owners contains a 10 percent raise over the next four years and fully paid employer health care with no givebacks on benefits, union president Mike Fishman said.
"We feel it's a very fair agreement, it's good for the industry, it's good for the workers," Fishman told journalists.
The agreement is "fair and reasonable," said Howard Rotschild, president of the Realty Advisory Board of Labor Relations, which represents building owners.
