PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Bus, subway and trolley service in Philadelphia halted on Tuesday as transit workers went on strike over wages, pensions and health benefits.
Talks between the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and Transport Workers Union Local 234 broke down at midnight when union representatives walked out, calling the strike to start at 3 a.m., said Jerri Williams, a spokeswoman for the transit agency. About 4,700 workers are affected.
