SEPTA Police May Strike
And here’s something that will make SEPTA even more exciting for all of us!
The police officers employed by Philadelphia’s main transit agency are threatening to strike after working more than two years without a contract. Talks are scheduled Thursday between the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and the Fraternal Order of Transit Police, along with a state mediator.
SEPTA does not expect a strike, but “we would provide adequate security for our riders” should it happen, said agency spokesman Richard Maloney. City police and private security guards would be used, SEPTA officials said.
Ehh, we’ll probably be okay. Those SEPTA cops only make around 30 grand a year starting salary - what are they, bloggers? Okay, okay.
