Philadelphia's Strike Sparks Trash Crisis and Citywide Debates
Mountains of trash are accumulating in Philadelphia due to a strike by city workers, primarily sanitation staff, which has halted trash collection. Negotiations between the city and union have so far failed to reach an agreement, with the union demanding higher wages and the city offering a smaller increase. The strike has led to disruptions in city services, protests, and some law enforcement actions, while the city continues to prepare for upcoming events despite the ongoing strike.
