In a significant development, Mayor Cherelle Parker announced that the work stoppage involving District Council 33 and the City of Philadelphia is officially over. After a grueling 12-hour negotiation, a tentative contract has been agreed upon, granting workers a 3% raise over three years. Despite this, the union's demands for a 32% increase remain unmet, but the deal is hailed as a historic win for the city.
In a historic move, 55,000 L.A. County workers have launched a two-day strike, disrupting vital public services amid claims of unfair negotiations and labor law violations. Libraries and clinics are affected, but hospitals remain open.
