Trash piles up in parts of Philadelphia as city workers remain on strike

As if Philadelphia needed a reason to be a shizzhole. 

Mountains of trash are piling up in parts of Philadelphia as a strike by blue-collar city workers nears a fourth day.

Sanitation workers are among the DC33 union members on the picket line, which means residential trash collection stopped when the strike was called at midnight Tuesday.

The latest round of negotiations began Wednesday but ended overnight without a deal. There's no word on when talks would resume.

Mayor Cherelle Parker said during a news conference on Thursday afternoon that the city offered to return to the negotiating table, but the union did not accept.

"In order to come back to the bargaining table, you have to have a counterproposal to be able to do," said District Council 33 President Greg Boulware. "Now, we just presented the city with what we thought was a very, very fair kind of proposal last night. They rejected it and came back with very much the same proposal that they've had over the last three days."

Meh.

If the trash pileup is that bad Trump can always call the National Guard or the Marines to handle it like he did in L.A. (and the problem will be instantly solved).

I'm confused - I thought Philadelphia is where we've all been sending our trash this entire time?

Of course the garage is going to pile up, it’s what voters wanted.

Strike over!

That was fast. Our idiot mayor seems to have gotten a pretty strong deal for the city / not so good for the union.

This was a good episode of Monk where the trash workers went on strike in San Francisco. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0823067/

I’m sure your mayor was rewarded handsomely instead of $ going to the workers
