Negotiations are paused between DC 33 and the City of Philadelphia as the city's largest strike in nearly 40 years continues.

Numerous reports suggest strikers are either ignoring or skirting around the injunction limiting pickets to 8 people, while a standoff occurred Wednesday between police and strikers attempting to enforce the picket line at a trash drop-off site.

AFSCME District Council 33 represents 9,000 employees ranging from sanitation workers to crossing guards. Trash pick-up, pools and 911 calls are among the services impacted.
