B.C. elevator workers threaten strike, employers serve lockout notice

Work on elevators across B.C. could come to a halt as soon as Tuesday, after union negotiations broke down last week.

My office just sent out a message saying the elevator union workers are going on strike tomorrow and all elevators will be shut down.

    The elevator industry is a huge cartel too. Lots of proprietary components and tools. If you need something rare or old, be prepared to wait 6 months to a year for service.

    Damn things should just be standardized by law.

      All industrial machines are like this now because every manufacture has to build a perfect snowflake. We have some mission critical parts with a 14 month back-order, so one good power flicker or flood and we loose a production line for the next year.

      Fuck you Lenze and Siemens. I have seen crowd sourced 3D printers more reliable than the crap you produce.
