PHILADELPHIA – SEPTA Transit Police will work yet another day without a contract and without going on strike as they continue to negotiate with the authority into Wednesday.
Both SEPTA and the Transit Police Union have yet to release statements updating the public about the status of a pending new contract after Tuesday’s negotiations, but Andrew Busch, SEPTA’s Director of Media Relations, said “talks will resume early after noon after everyone regroups and touches base in the morning.”
SEPTA’s unionized police force drew up a counterproposal to hand to negotiators Tuesday evening as both sides tried to reach a labor deal as a possible strike looms.
The 178 member police officers’ union has been working without a contract since March.
Negotiations have picked up this week as the union has begun to suggest it may walk.
