My office just sent out a message saying the elevator union workers are going on strike tomorrow and all elevators will be shut down.

    I’ve seen firemen seriously damage elevators cause they aren’t properly trained to open them if something goes wrong. That turns into verify costly repairs and downtime. If I we’re a building owner of turn them off than deal with damage.

      I can see that in a rental building with a shitty landlord, but that’s pretty bullshit IMHO. There’s a lot of elderly / disabled people who can’t climb stairs, or need groceries, etc.

      I’m guessing this strike won’t last long once they start breaking down.
