SEPTA workers to hold strike authorization vote on Sunday
PHILADELPHIA - Embroiled in a months long labor battle, Transport Workers Union Local 234 will meet on Sunday to decide if they will take on step closer to a strike that would bring SEPTA services in and around Philadelphia to a screeching halt. Busses, the subway, the El and trollies would all shut down if the union can't strike a deal with SEPTA. A union leader claims that SEPTA has offered lower wages comparatively than everyone one else in the region.MORE SEPTA HEADLINES"We’re not going to accept low wages," TWU Local 234 President Willie Brown said.SEPTA workers also want parental leave, financial support for families of workers who die from COVID-19 and, more security.
