PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Thousands of city union workers are on strike, and their numbers include some staffers who work at Philadelphia International Airport.
Members of AFSCME District Council 33 walked off the job early Tuesday morning.
Custodial, facilities, and maintenance workers at the airport are among the 9,000 city workers on the picket line.
"We clean at the airport inside, maintain the bathrooms, the floors, the trash inside, we maintain all of that," said custodial worker Tamika Sturgis. "Cost of living is going up. Our wages is staying the same," added Sturgis.
