After more than eight days spent striking for higher wages and better benefits as trash collection and other Philadelphia city services ground to a halt, members of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 33 will vote next week to finalize the union’s tentative contract agreement with Mayor Cherelle L.
Philadelphia's first major city worker strike since 1986 lasted eight days and four hours before Mayor Cherelle L. Parker and Greg Boulware, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 33, reached a deal for a new contract at about 4 a.m. Wednesday.
Members of DC 33 still have to approve a tentative agreement. If they don't ratify it, union president Greg Boulware warns that a strike could resume.
