Transit Talks Resume Amid Philadelphia PTC Suit
Negotiators for the Philadelphia Transportation Co and the city prepared to resume talks after a five day transit strike. A three member mediation panel led by PTC president Robert H. Stier returned to the bargaining table as the city’s receivership petition moved forward. A hearing was set for next Tuesday to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed, while union officials denounced the suit as stupid and warned it could torpedo the mediation effort. The disagreement centered on a no layoff clause and job protections in the new contract, with the city seeking to protect property valued at about 200 million dollars under a lease arrangement.
