PHILADELPHIA – Commuters in and around Philadelphia should prepare for delays in the near future.
That’s because SEPTA union members have authorized another strike.
This doesn’t necessarily mean they will go on strike.
The union workers that voted are responsible for manning buses, trains, and trolleys.
A union spokesperson says striking is their last resort, and they hope it doesn’t come to that.
They’re set to meet with the transit company for negotiations on Tuesday.
This comes as the Chestnut Hill West and Fox Chase Lines are seeing cancellations due to ongoing repairs of the Silverliner IV fleet.
The repairs are mandated by the federal government due to recent fires in the rail cars.
