Solidarity! Taxi Workers Support Transit Workers in Philadelphia
The Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) quietly attempted to develop a contingency plan to support SEPTA in case of a strike of transit workers in TWU Local 234. Because the Taxi Workers Alliance of Pennsylvania (TWA) is a strong unified voice in support of workers, PPA and SEPTA knew they had to turn to cab drivers outside Philadelphia county to develop their plan. As one UTWA leader explained, "they knew that TWA wouldn't support any contingency plan that affected TWU negotiating leverage." This is the essence of solidarity.
