My office just sent out a message saying the elevator union workers are going on strike tomorrow and all elevators will be shut down.

    Hope no disbaled poeple work there. For the able bodied taking the stairs is an inconvenience, for the disabled it’s a barrier. I know several poeple, while they could climb a flight or two of stairs, it would wipe them out for DAYS if they did it.

      Unfortunately, the people who should be concerned by that are the employers, and it’s not historically common for them to give a shit amout their disabled employees enough to prioritize their access overall, let alone in particular as a result of this strike.

      No kidding, this wouldn’t affect just my building it would affect all of BC and the Yukon. The elevators were still working this morning and we got this message: “The strike has been averted as negotiations for elevator workers across B.C. are ongoing to establish a new collective agreement.”
