VisitCon Edison and UWUA Reach Tentative Deal Amid Heatwave, Averting Strike
Jun 23, 2024, 02:46 AM
In the midst of a historic heatwave, New York City faced a potential crisis as Con Edison utility workers threatened to strike if a deal with the union was not reached. The workers, represented by the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) Local 1-2, were in negotiations for a fair contract. The situation was critical as the workers are essential for maintaining the city's electrical grid during extreme weather conditions. However, a tentative agreement was reached between Con Edison and the union, averting the strike and ensuring the continued operation of the electrical grid. This agreement was welcomed by various city officials and labor advocates, including @CentralLaborNYC and @ABC7NY, who emphasized the importance of treating workers with respect and ensuring fair labor practices.
