SEPTA Strike Averted as Negotiations Continue
TL;DR Summary
SEPTA workers, represented by the Transport Workers Union Local 234, have postponed a planned strike as negotiations with the transportation authority continue. Talks have been ongoing since June, with the union seeking a one-year contract with a 10% pay increase and improved safety measures, while SEPTA offers no salary increase but a $1,000 bonus. Both sides aim to avoid a strike, which would disrupt services for thousands in Philadelphia, including 55,000 students reliant on public transport.
