If you are used to public transportation on a regular, your normal routine may be interrupted. SEPTA workers are gearing up for a possible strike. Their contracts expires at the end of the month, Oct. 31. Workers are asking for some concerns to be handled include fair wages, parental leave and safety issues, according to NBC 10. When you think of the pandemic, a lot of Septa workers had gotten sick and of course there were even changes with how people could use SEPTA. One person said, SEPTA has offered lower wages than everyone else in the region. If no agreement is made before the contract ends this weekend, the strike would affect buses, trolleys, the subway and elevated train lines in Philadelphia. It would not impact regional rail. But on top of that, this could also affect a lot of schools. The Philadelphia School District said in a statement that a walkout "could require some or all of our schools to shift to 100% virtual learning," because many of the students and staff members rely on SEPTA, especially with the school bus driver shortage.
