SEPTA contract talks coming down to the wire





PHILADELPHIA - April 3, 2014 (WPVI) -- The clock is ticking for SEPTA and its union workers to reach a contract agreement.

Action News is told negotiations between the transit agency and union representatives were scheduled for Thursday morning but that meeting was canceled.

The two sides were expected to meet sometime later in the day.

They are trying to reach a deal before the last of four union contracts expires at midnight on Sunday.

Union officials have said they will do whatever it takes to avoid a strike, but will give riders 24 hours' notice if they do decide to walk off the job.

SEPTA has prepared a contingency plan in the event of a strike.
