The RAB and Local 32BJ SEIU have reached a tentative agreement in the negotiations

About RAB

Our Mission
The RAB negotiates collective bargaining agreements on behalf of owners and operators of real property with unions that represent their maintenance and operating employees. We also advise and represent members in the administration of their collective bargaining agreements and in matters concerning personnel and human resources.

History
From its inception, the Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations, Inc. (RAB) has taken the position that the representation of employers is best accomplished by working cooperatively with building workers and their legal representatives.

New York City in the 1930’s was plagued with labor disputes in the Building Service Industry. On November 1, 1934, members of union Local 32B went on strike thereby shutting down elevator service to New York’s skyscrapers. The Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY), along with New York City Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, found it necessary to step in for fear of continued violence. REBNY and Mayor LaGuardia promoted the resolution of labor disputes through arbitration, and an agreement was successfully reached on November 21, 1934 and the RAB was organized in order to handle similar labor matters in the future.
A few years later New York City and the building service industry suffered another major loss as a result of Hurricane Sandy. Losses to health, supplemental unemployment, and legal fund benefits totaled to about $1,030,000.00. The RAB again worked to extend benefits to affected employees, and avoided bumping issues in commercial buildings.

Currently the RAB sits on multiple committees and serves as a representative of the building service industry. To date, the RAB has 4,077 Commercial and Residential Building members as well as building maintenance contractor members who employ more than 20,000 members of Local 32BJ. The RAB continues to negotiate collective bargaining agreements on behalf of building owners who employ the major unions in the building service industry, which include SEIU, Local 32BJ, Local 94, IUOE, and a Craft Groups.
