Contract negotiations resume for union workers on strike in Philadelphia, demanding higher wages from District Council 33 for jobs like answering 911 calls and picking up trash in the city.

Meanwhile, union leaders and city officials negotiated, but failed to reach an agreement. Union leaders hope to meet again on Sunday. In prior talks, the union asked for better benefits and a 5% wage increase per year over the next 3 years for its nearly 9,000 workers. The city had offered 7% over 3 years.
