New York City's iconic doormen, known for their impeccable service and charming personalities, may soon be trading in their top hats and canes for picket signs. In a move that could disrupt the city's high-end residential and commercial buildings, thousands of doormen are set to vote on whether to go on strike in pursuit of better pay and improved working conditions. The proposed strike, which would be the largest of its kind in decades, is a response to the rising costs of living in New York City, where doormen often earn a meager hourly wage despite providing essential services to some of the city's most affluent residents. If the strike proceeds, it could have significant implications for the city's real estate industry and the thousands of doormen who rely on their jobs for a living.
