Strike on Upper East Side in NYC
Yes people there is an ongoing Con ed strike on 86th and York Ave. This is the first strike I've ever seen in this neighbourhood. Not that there aren't discontented domestic workers, but they don't strike they will loose their job.
Why are the strikers here? Well apparently Kevin Burke the CEO of our great electric company lives in the corner building. You see that big glass thing behind the workers? It was squeezed into the last bit of real estate in the area. I think each floor houses a person, and there is one bored doorman for the entire building.
When you look up you can see four entire floors with glass from floor to ceiling. Funny in all the time it's been there I have only seen one family leaving.. I seriously doubt Mr. Burke is home.
