SEPTA strikes: Mayor blasts union, Regional Rail still operating 1
Nov3
The SEPTA strike that was called early this morning at 3 a.m. was “most disappointing,” Mayor Michael Nutter told Fox 29.
About 5,100 train and trolley operators, bus drivers and mechanics walked off the job, the Inquirer reports, after their bargaining team rejected the last offers from the transit agency.
Regional rail lines in the Northeast and throughout the region are currently still operating, though crowding and delays have been reported due to increased volume. Fears remained around the effect the strike would have on commuters and Election Day, particularly after such short notice of the strike.
Below see video of Nutter’s appearance and more on the strike.
