Philadelphia city workers march
Published Aug 3, 2009 9:17 PM
More than 300 members from four major unions, joined by supporters from
around the city, marched on July 21 through the Old City District of
Philadelphia to Constitution Center, where a conference of state legislators
were meeting. The protesters’ main message was painted on a white banner
in green and black lettering: “Don’t cut the budget on the backs of
public employees!” Participating unions included Transport Workers Local
234, which has been without a contract since March; American Federation of
State, County and Municipal Employees District Councils 33 and 47, which have
been without contracts since June; and Service Employees Local 32BJ, which has
suffered salary cuts.
