They're not closing them. They just won't be fixed if they break. Ops building manager is smoking something good I think.
Fire department would get out anyone stuck, not the service tech.
Puts the anger onto the people striking. Classic.
I think it puts panic into the general public and pressure onto the elevator companies to come back to the bargaining table. If anything I have more respect for elevator workers now, they keep shit moving.
That's definitely how I hope it's taken by the general public!
It looked like a sign that management had posted in solidarity with the elevator companies rather than with the workers themselves, so I figured it was meant to be taken cynically.
