Members of 32BJ SEIU, one of the city’s largest labor unions, reached a tentative agreement with the Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations, a group of building owners in the tristate area. Following a week of negotiations, a strike by janitors, porters, handymen, and doormen was averted after they secured an 11.3 percent pay rise over the next four years (with the increase in benefits, that number is 13.28 percent). The deal also includes better retirement plans and protections against harassment.
