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

If the car is between floors, good luck. Fire fighters wont be able to move it and electricians know not to mess with elevators, moreso if it is 'broken.'

Firefighters are trained in this type of rescue and can lower the cab and get people out. I’ve seen it done personally after giving them access to the mechanical room as a council member.
