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.
