WASHINGTON, D.C. – October 10, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — WHY:   Workers at 231 10th Ave, a luxury condominium on the High Line, went on strike today. The workers, who make as little as $13 an hour in a building where one-bedroom apartments sell for $1.6 million, have been facing threats and intimidation. The union has filed 10 unfair labor practice charges against the building, owned by Vesta 24 Condominiums, but the federal shutdown has closed the National Labor relations Board, making it unable to provide relief to the workers. The workers felt that striking was their only option.
