"Luis Ayala, a union strike captain and overnight porter, stated that the labor contract offered by the real estate industry is unacceptable, warning that a strike would lead to unsanitary conditions in buildings. He emphasized, 'After a few days, the building is going to stink; it's not going to be clean; it's not going to look nice.'"
"Jordan Weiss, an overnight doorman, expressed the financial strain on workers, saying, 'The price of gas is going up now, food costs—everything. Our members are really struggling with the changes in the economy.'"
