A long line extends the main concourse at 30th St. Station as a SEPTA employee checks Regional Rail passes and tickets on the first day of Philadelphia's last transit strike, November 1, 2016.
Local 234 represents transit operators, mechanics and other employees and its two-year contract expires at 11:59 p.m. Oct. 31. Negotiators for the union and SEPTA management began an“My intentions are to work it out and, and come to some resolve or come to a fair contract,” said Brian Pollitt, president of Local 234. ”It’s an inconvenience for so many people. … If we have to, we have to, but I’m gonna do everything in my power not to.
The call center would open at its normal time at 7 a.m. on Tues., Oct. 31 and would go straight through, working a 24-hour day on Wed., Nov. 1, spokesperson Andrew Busch said. On Nov. 2 and Nov. 3, representatives would be working from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. SEPTA plans to staff the center on the weekend for the normal hours of 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., but Busch said that could be extended based on call volume.
