SEPTA faces potential mayhem as TWU votes Sunday strike
Transit workers vote to strike at 12:01 a.m. Sunday if no contract with SEPTA is reached. By Friday night 4,900 workers remained without an agreement, threatening buses, trolleys, and subways for 400,000 daily riders. Contingency plans urge staggered hours, car pools, train tickets in advance, and alternate routes through Center City. Conrail cites equipment shortages and urges advance ticketing and avoidance of rush hours. The Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce recommends staggered schedules and remote work to ease congestion.
