Bistricer follows through with Flatbush Gardens worker lockout

Landlord David Bistricer wasn’t throwing out empty threats last week when he said he would lock workers out of Brooklyn’s 59-building Flatbush Gardens housing complex until they accepted his proposed pay cuts. According to the Wall Street Journal, around 70 porters and handymen were barred from coming to work there yesterday as union SEIU Local 32 BJ continued to spar with Bistricer’s Renaissance Equity Holdings over their contracts. The original agreement expired in April, and the two sides have yet to see eye-to-eye, with the workers operating under the terms of the earlier contract in the meantime. The union says Renaissance wants to slash workers’ pay — usually between $18 and $20 per hour — by 30 percent. [WSJ]
