Negotiations between the striking AFSCME District Council 33 and Mayor Parker's administration appear to be at a standstill.

Striking city workers are joining picket lines outside Philadelphia City Hall, public libraries and other worksites as nearly 10,000 unionized employees walked off the job in search of better pay and benefits.

The AFSCME District Council 33, which represents around 9,000 municipal workers, has now gone on strike, impacting many of the city's services.
