More than 9,000 city employees are on strike after contract talks fell apart between AFSCME District Council 33 and Mayor Parker’s administration, the first major city worker strike since 1986.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Nearly 10,000 city workers in Philadelphia who collect trash, answer 911 calls, maintain city pools and perform other jobs went on strike Tuesday after contract negotiations broke down. District Council 33 President Greg Boulware said the city hadn’t agreed to a high enough wage increase, WPVI-TV reported.

Sanitation workers in Philadelphia could go on strike as soon as Tuesday, stopping regular residential trash pickup in the city.

The Trump Administration is suing Los Angeles over sanctuary city policies that limit the city’s cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, claiming that they led to “lawlessness” when thousands of people took to the streets earlier this month to protest the President’s mass-deportation operation.

In a lawsuit, the Department of Justice says Los Angeles' sanctuary city policies interfere with federal immigration laws.
