The union says five hours of discussions this evening went nowhere, with SEPTA maintaining its previous position.
So, the 219 members of the Fraternal Order of Transit Police remain on strike.
No additional talks are scheduled.
Thursday was day two of the SEPTA transit police strike.
The police union rank and file have been without a contract for nearly a year. They walked off the job yesterday afternoon. SEPTA, however, claims security at its stations is not suffering - at least not so far.
At transit stations during the both rush hours Thursday, all reports are it was standard business as usual despite 200 transit police remaining on strike after walking out of negotiations at 2:00 yesterday afternoon - twenty minutes after they gave notice of the work stoppage.
Philadelphia police and a private security firm have been handling security at local stations.
Outside SEPTA's headquarters this morning, there was a quiet picket line.
The two sides - management and the police union - had agreed to an 11.5-percent pay raise over five years. But the stalemate is over a union demand for a 50-cent per hour pay raise based on the officer's certification requirements with mandate updated training sessions.
SEPTA has been offering only 15-cents per hour. Again, no new talks are scheduled so far.
SEPTA Vice President Richard Maloney tells Action News, "At this hour we haven't heard from them. We're waiting for them to return to the bargaining table." We asked if it was on the unions to approach negotiations, to which Maloney replied, "They walked out. It's up to them to come back."
SEPTA Police Union President Richard Neal tells us, "As of right now, we're still waiting for SEPTA to give us a phone call. As I indicated last night, we spoke to Congressman Brady and he's very instrumental in trying to get the parties back to the table to negotiate, hopefully today, to resolve this issue as soon as possible."
It appears based on the positions of both parties, the game playing and posturing continues.
