Septa Transit Strike Could Come This Weekend
![]() |
While negotiators for Septa and its Transport Workers Union continued to hold contract talks, the union was preparing to distribute strike signs on Tuesday evening, in advance of a potential walkout at the end of the week.
The union contends it's just a coincidence that a strike could come this weekend, when the World Series comes to Philadelphia.
TWU local 234 set up last weekend's strike authorization vote a couple weeks before it was known that the Phillies had advanced in the postseason. And its last walkout, in 2005, began on the same date: October 31st. That strike lasted a week.
