Philadelphia transit workers go on strike

| | Comments (0)

In case you haven't heard, Philadelphia transit system's largest union went on strike early Tuesday, taking many riders by surprise, the Associated Press reported today.

There had been talk of a strike during the World Series, but Gov. Ed Rendell had ordered the union and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority to remain at the bargaining table or risk consequences, the Associated Press said.

The union went on strike around 3 a.m. Tuesday, just hours after people who had attended the baseball game used mass transit to return home.

Did you use the buses, subway or trolley service to get to the game?
