SEPTA Strike Averted as Negotiations Continue

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.

Southwest Airlines Expands Operations and Reaches Labor Agreements

Southwest Airlines has reached a tentative agreement with the transport workers union, which represents about 17,120 workers. The agreement includes an hourly wage increase to $36.72, surpassing the wages at United Airlines and Delta Air Lines. Other demands, such as improved retirement medical coverage, increased 401(k) match, and additional holidays at premium pay rates, have also been met. This comes as various unions in the aerospace, construction, airline, and rail industries have been advocating for higher wages and better benefits.
