The IBEW Local\u00a0Union\u00a0614 — which represents PECO’s linemen, gas technicians, mechanics, call center workers, and back office workers —\u00a0said they will announce details of their impending strike on Thursday, June 26, at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n
“The strike comes after PECO management has failed to offer serious counter proposals on key bargaining issues, including wages and benefits, despite months of negotiations and nearly three months since the union\u2019s contract expired,” the union said in a press release.<\/p>\n
PECO’s union employees have been working without a contract since March 31, 2026, when its previous contract with PECO expired.<\/p>\n
The strike would be the first work stoppage in PECO’s history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The IBEW Local\u00a0Union\u00a0614 — which represents PECO’s linemen, gas technicians, mechanics, call center workers, and back office workers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":206607,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[61,69,71,70],"class_list":["post-227380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-economy","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
