💨 Abstract

In Philadelphia, a strike by nearly 10,000 city workers entered its second day. A judge ordered some emergency service dispatchers and essential water department employees to return to work, citing public safety concerns. The strike, led by District Council 33, seeks better pay and benefits. The city offered raises totaling 13% over four years, but the union demands higher annual raises, cost-of-living hikes, and full health care coverage.
