Striking city workers are joining picket lines outside Philadelphia City Hall, public libraries and other worksites as nearly 10,000 unionized employees walked off the job in search of better pay and benefits.

Two sanitation workers who were on the picket line in the ongoing District Council 33 union strike were hit by a vehicle in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section.

One of Philadelphia’s largest unions, which represents about 9,000 employees, is now on strike after negotiations with the city were unsuccessful.
