Philly Transit Police Dispute Could Lead To Strike

PHILADELPHIA (AP) ― The police officers employed by Philadelphia's main transit agency are threatening to strike after working more than two years without a contract.

Talks are scheduled Thursday between the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and the Fraternal Order of Transit Police, along with a state mediator.

SEPTA does not expect a strike, but spokesman Richard Maloney says the agency "would provide adequate security" should it happen. City police and private security guards would be used.
