LifeLine Ep 72 - Strikes in the City of Brotherly Love

Send us a text

On July 1, 2025 at 12:01 am, the unionized city workers of the City of Philadelphia went on strike to protest for better wages and conditions. While the merits of units and strikes and general, and public sectors unions in particular, is its own discussion, what is relevant to us is that the 9-1-1 operators and police dispatchers also went on strike. That means that emergency calls for service in the City of Brotherly Love go unanswered to some extent. Is there an acceptable reason for emergency operators to strike?
