New York City's residential building industry is bracing for potential chaos as thousands of workers are poised to authorize a strike that could begin as early as Monday. The labor dispute, which involves workers from various unions, centers around demands for higher wages, improved working conditions, and better benefits. The workers, who are responsible for maintaining and renovating the city's vast residential building stock, have been negotiating with building owners and management for months, but so far, no agreement has been reached. A strike would not only impact the city's construction industry but also have far-reaching consequences for the thousands of residents who rely on these workers for essential services.
