The contract may be “the best deal they can get at this moment.”

After eight days, the city and its blue collar workers’ union has resulted in a tentative contract agreement.

A marathon negotiation session between the city of Philadelphia and its blue collar workers' union Tuesday has resulted in a tentative contract agreement.

The order comes despite warnings that critical government services will be lost and hundreds of thousands of federal employees will be out of their jobs.

The city’s contract negotiations with AFSCME District Council 33 show no signs of a deal as trash piled along city streets continues to rise.

The city appears to be digging in for a long strike as District Council 33 union workers are looking for more money than the city wants to spend.

No deal was reached between the union and the city of Philadelphia on the strike's fifth day.

An overnight negotiating session failed to close the gap between the city and union negotiators, threatening to impact the holiday weekend.

Philadelphia municipal workers are on strike for a third day, meaning decreased city services and no trash pickup. Will DC 33 and Mayor Cherelle Parker come to an agreement?

Residents dropped off both trash and recycling outside a locked city-run sanitation center in Northwest Philly flanked by striking union members, police and city workers.

AFSCME District Council 33 represents 9,000 employees ranging from sanitation workers to crossing guards. Trash pick-up, pools and 911 calls are among the services impacted.

AFSCME DC33, which represents Philly’s blue-collar workers, is vowing to strike at midnight if there isn’t an agreement with the city.

Philadelphia’s mayor pleaded her case via social media to say that the city is offering a fair wage package to the District Council 33 union, which represents city workers.

Members of the AFSCME DC 33 union authorized a strike last week, and their deal ends June 30. Here’s what’s at stake and which key services are at risk.
