Negotiations are back on between DC 33 and the City of Philadelphia as the city's largest strike in nearly 40 years continues.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said Thursday that mediators from the state are involved in the negotiation process between AFSCME District Council 33 and the City of Philadelphia.

Many AFSCME DC 33 members have been itching for the union to take a dramatic stand against the city ever since then-Mayor Rendell won concessions in a 1992 contract. On Tuesday, they got their wish.
