Union Reaches Deal Averting New York Building Workers Strike

32BJ SEIU and Realty Advisory Board agree to $4.50 raise over four years, no family healthcare premiums, 15% pension gain

New York City’s building service workers averted a citywide strike after 32BJ SEIU and the Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations reached a tentative four-year contract with wage, healthcare, and pension improvements. Announced April 17, the deal provides a $4.50 hourly raise over the term, no premium sharing for family healthcare, and a 15% pension improvement, according to union statements. The agreement follows an April 15 strike authorization and was set to avert a walkout when the existing pact expires at midnight on April 20, covering more than 30,000 workers citywide.

Elsewhere, workers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, represented by UNITE HERE Local 11, threaten a strike as the region prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, citing working conditions and concerns about immigration enforcement. The union represents roughly 2,000 hospitality employees at the venue. In New York, home care workers began a hunger strike to press the City Council to vote on the No More 24 Act, which would bar 24-hour shifts; organizers say aides are currently paid for 13 of 24 hours. Together, these actions underscore active labor campaigns in major U.S. cities over scheduling, safety, and compensation.

Key Insight

These disputes affect major urban services and high-profile events, with implications for New York’s residential operations and Los Angeles World Cup preparations.
