Milrose Consultants Responds to Con Ed Workers Strike in New York
A Workforce Strike at New York's Con Ed Utilities Company Has Left Many Residents Concerned About the City's Immediate Future -- and It Has Led to a Comment From Leading Municipal Consultancy, Milrose Consultants
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 07/03/12 -- As the summer season shifts into full gear, many cities across the United States are experiencing extreme, and in some cases even record-breaking, high temperatures. Now, more than ever, people are depending on utility companies and air conditioning units to keep the cool air turned on -- but residents of New York have suddenly found their own comfort levels in question, following a workforce strike at Consolidated Edison, one of the region's leading utility companies. The Con Ed strike has led to more than 8,000 unionized workers being sent home, following the breakdown of contract negotiations at the beginning of July. This workforce crisis has drawn the attention of residents all across New York, including the professional zoning and building code experts at Milrose Consultants.
According to the , roughly 5,000 managers -- including many retired Con Ed employees, called back into action to ward off this crisis -- will be stepping in to fill the role of the 8,000 unionized employees who have been locked out. According to the Times, however, these managers "might not have the numbers or the training to keep up if the hot weather and the increased demand for air-conditioning created major power failures."
The incident has drawn the attention of New York City municipal experts . "Already, we are seeing an increase in the number of requests for temporary mobile generators," the company reported with a statement to the press. "These types of emergency vehicles need approval from the Department of Transportation, as well as from the Bureau of Electrical Control. Fuel storage is also a concern."
The company expressed the possibility that, without a satisfying resolution, this strike could ultimately hinder future construction and development opportunities in the city. "Depending on the duration, the Con Ed strike may affect not only current projects, but also future construction," says the Milrose Consultants press release. "We are checking with our industry contacts to determine how the situation may impact current work and future projects."
