In a move that could bring the Big Apple to a standstill, over 150,000 building workers, including doormen and maintenance staff, in New York City have set a deadline of April 20 for a potential walkout. The strike, which would be one of the largest in the city's history, is a response to stalled negotiations over wages, benefits, and working conditions. The workers, who are members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), have been pushing for better pay and more job security in the face of rising costs of living and gentrification in the city. As the deadline approaches, residents and business owners are bracing for the possibility of disruptions to daily life, from delayed package deliveries to access to high-rise buildings.
