Philadelphia transit employees will meet with city officials to negotiate a new contract as the Nov. 1 strike deadline looms, and the prospects of a full walk-out become a very real possibility.
The contract between workers and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transport Authority (SEPTA) expires at midnight Oct. 31 (Halloween). The two sides have been in talks for months in order to work out the details of a deal.
A major strike could effect voters on Election Day if the walkout runs past Nov. 8.

You bet it is!!!
Philly transit strike for election day.
Outstanding.
It would be great if they were striking on election day. Just ruction to keep the Democrats away from voting
I lived in Philly for these. They aren’t pretty, not at all. Makes a black lives blather protest look like a church picnic.
Make the freeloaders WALK to the polls!
ROFL Lob it! Lob it! Lob it!
In the new app economy, these striking transit workers can be immediately gainfully employed by becoming lyft or uber drivers. An income sidestream would lessen the emergency to settle quickly.
Well of course... It’s EVITA grasping at straws... ANYTHING just so she can cry foul after she loses.
She will of course.... want re counts for all the affected areas-so she can jam-up Trump’s (by now certain) victory. She’ll do ANYTHING to buy time, commandeer the MSM reporting of his victory, and fabricate the idea that he did not win legitimately. Mark that!
It’s always the Liberal plan, when they lose control:
‘If I can’t sail the ship, I will foul the rigging’.
This is not good.
It will be used as a pretext to ask some Democrat judge for an emergency injunction allowing Philadelphia County to keep their polling places open until Wednesday or Thursday, in order to allow the poor citizens of Philadelphia time to vote.
That, in turn, will allow them to manufacture enough votes to outweigh the pro-Trump vote from the rest of the Commonwealth.
Perhaps...
But I’m not aware of any time in which certain precincts, and only certain ones, were kept “open” for a national election over a day or so. Other than the normal times when people were already standing in a long line, in person - that is only an hour or so. It’s not like this strike is going to be some kind of surprise - it’s being publicized. Voters should be able to get an absentee ballot, for example.
That said, I am as much a cynic as you are. They will surely try, if the strike goes forward. Little doubt about them throwing it against the wall to see if they can get it to stick!
Ping!
