New York City’s doormen and building workers are set to hold a strike vote on April 15 as their union and an advisory board to property owners have yet to reach agreement on a new labor contract.

Nearly 34,000 building staff will weigh in on a potential work suspension that could happen as soon as April 21, the day after the current four-year contract expires, according to an announcement Thursday from 32BJ SEIU, the union representing the workers.
