Philadelphia strike hits Day 7 as latest negotiations between union, Parker administration end without deal

PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 7 – Contract talks remain stalled as Philadelphia offers a 13% wage increase, the largest in 30 years, but over 9,000 union workers continue striking, causing significant trash buildup.

  • Members of AFSCME District Council 33 are on strike, demanding a 15 percent pay raise, while Mayor Cherelle L. Parker offered an increase of just under nine percent.
  • Supporters have withdrawn from events in solidarity with the union.
  • Citizens express frustration over uncollected trash, with one local noting that dumping trash for profit is seen as 'scab work' by union members.
