Mayor Cherelle L. Parker and Greg Boulware, president of AFSCME District Council 33, reached an agreement early Wednesday, ending an eight-day strike. Here's what it looked like.

When over 200 city workers were laid off in September 1938, city workers called a weeklong sanitation strike. Street battles raged in West Philadelphia when strikers blocked police-escorted trash wagons that were aiming to collect trash with workers hired to replace the strikers.

Philadelphia police arrested eight people in connection to three separate illegal dumping incidents amid the workers union strike.

To some, the nonunion city workers are relieving a messy situation. To others, they’re simply scabs caught in difficult circumstances.
