SEPTA says latest talks with city workers' union were productive

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- SEPTA says it had productive talks with the Philadelphia city transport workers' union on Thursday.

The two sides are working to come to terms on a new contract after the previous deal expired nearly two weeks ago.

The union has voted to authorize a strike; however, there's no indication they will walk off the job at this point.

Talks are expected to resume on Monday.

Meanwhile, a separate union that represents workers on suburban routes will take up a strike authorization vote on Friday.
