(Philadelphia) –
“I am pleased that the Nutter Administration has joined with AFSCME District
Council 33 to end one of the most protracted labor disputed in the history of
our City. I am particularly proud of the work done by AFSCME DC33 President
Matthews and his team.
This agreement represents
validation for the approximately 10,000 current and retired blue-collar
employees that pick up our trash, pave and repair our streets and make our City
great. Increases in wages and contributions to health care and welfare
along with the removal of furlough days are all strong additions.
As we begin to look for the
next generation of leadership in Philadelphia, this contract should also serve
as a reminder to the next Administration and those who seek to lead it: our
City works because the members of DC 33 do.”
