Union dispute over part time staff at SEPTA intensifies strike
In Philadelphia TWU chairman Roger Tauss accuses SEPTA general manager David Gunn of union busting as talks stall over adding part time workers. SEPTA cites a 16 million dollar deficit and seeks flexible, cheaper labor while TWU argues part timers undermine the 4,900 member union and could trigger layoffs. The conflict highlights salaries and benefits gaps as drivers earn 8.13 an hour with full benefits after 30 months, or 75 percent pay until then. See UNION: Page 5.
