Union members threaten and harass residents who dare drop off garbage during Philadelphia strike: 'This is disgraceful'

The city and a local union are trying to reach an agreement on wage increases.

On the third day of a union strike of municipal workers, garbage is piling up in Philadelphia, and some workers are resorting to threats and vandalism against residents who dare to break the strike.

Sanitation workers clearly make the city more livable, and they have the right to strike for better working conditions.

I am glad sanitation workers perform their essential services. However, I totally condemn sanitation union members threatening violence against the citizens who hired them if those citizens do not take over sanitation work while sanitation workers are on strike.
