Negotiations are back on between AFSCME District Council 33, Philadelphia's largest blue-collar union, and the Parker administration as the municipal workers' strike continued into its second day Wednesday.

Nearly 10,000 city workers in Philadelphia are striking, disrupting trash collection, pool schedules and library hours.

Striking city workers are joining picket lines outside Philadelphia City Hall, public libraries and other worksites as nearly 10,000 unionized employees walked off the job in search of better pay and benefits.
