Building Employees Contract

The current citywide agreement with Local 32B-32J, SEIU, which covers handymen, doormen and porters servicing our building, will expire at midnight on Thursday, April 20, 2006. A strike, if it occurs, will significantly curtail normal building operations, affecting access, deliveries, moving, construction, and trash removal. Cooper Square will be sending a notice to owners about this matter this week.

Newsletter on its Way

A newsletter was drafted on March 13 and mailed to owners. We can't post it here, but the newsletter will appear soon on the community web site.
