Contract negotiations continue between PECO and workers union as July 4 strike looms

Contract negotiations will resume on Thursday between PECO and the electrical workers union. Workers have threatened to walk off the job on Saturday if a deal isn't reached by then. Mayor Cherelle Parker sent a letter to both sides urging them to come to an agreement. The union says the company is not offering serious counterproposals. PECO says it has offered 20% wage increases over five years. The company says it appreciates the mayor's letter and says it is committed to bargaining in good faith.
