Thousands of workers at New York City apartment buildings are on the cusp of a potentially historic labor dispute, as they prepare to vote on whether to go on strike over wages and working conditions. The workers, who are members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), have been in negotiations with building owners and managers for months, but have yet to reach a satisfactory agreement. If the strike vote is successful, it could bring the city's massive apartment building industry to a grinding halt, affecting not only the workers but also the thousands of residents who call these buildings home. The strike would be a major test of the city's labor laws and the power of organized labor in the face of a growing gentrification crisis.
