Thousands of residential building workers in New York City are set to walk off the job as they vote to go on strike over wage and healthcare concerns. Starting on Tuesday, a massive strike is expected to bring construction to a halt in one of the city's most critical industries, impacting thousands of residents who rely on building workers for maintenance and repairs. The workers, who are represented by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), are seeking higher wages and improved healthcare benefits, citing stagnant pay and rising healthcare costs. As the city grapples with a growing affordable housing crisis, the strike could have significant implications for the real estate market and the lives of New Yorkers.
