The workers, represented by the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA), are demanding a fair contract from Con Edison. City officials, including NYC Speaker Adams and Council Member Amanda Farias, have emphasized the critical need for these workers to maintain the electrical grid during the historic heatwave. The potential strike could severely impact the city's ability to manage the heatwave, highlighting the urgency for Con Edison to reach an agreement with the union.
