April 30th, 2010Will the Upper East Side Have to Open Doors?
April 22nd, 2010Upper East Siders may soon have to open their own doors, hail their own cabs and accept their own deliveries.
The horror! 
Currently, there are 30,000 unionized doormen, superintendents, handymen, concierges and porters threatening to walk off the job if they don’t get to keep their current benefits plus an increase in pay on a new, four-year contract. The building owners are arguing that tough economic times are forcing the reality of cuts – something the workers are not about to accept without a fight.
The threat of a strike has prompted The New York Times to run a hilarious blog post entitled “In Event of a Strike, How to Open the Doors.”
“While it may seem intimidating to the uninitiated, opening a door is actually a simple act,” it said. “It can be accomplished safely with advance planning and practice.”
