After working for months without a contract, the union that represents SEPTA’s police force may go on strike if it can’t come to a contract agreement with the mass transit provider.
Negotiations between the Fraternal Order of Transit Police Lodge 109 and SEPTA continued on Tuesday with no deal reached. The plan is to go back to the bargaining table on Wednesday.
Both parties bargained for hours but didn’t make enough progress to close a deal and rule out a strike.
The FOTP Vice President Troy Parham said the officers are done talking, they want to strike but are holding off for another night.
“I don’t know how much longer we can do this if your official stance is there’s no more money. Where do we go from there?” Parham said.
SEPTA presented the FOTP with a new offer on Tuesday, but the union rejected the offer.
