Two sanitation workers who were on the picket line in the ongoing District Council 33 union strike were hit by a vehicle in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section.

The strike has revealed the massive chasm that exists throughout the city of Philadelphia between the working population and the Democratic Party-run political establishment.

Many AFSCME DC 33 members have been itching for the union to take a dramatic stand against the city ever since then-Mayor Rendell won concessions in a 1992 contract. On Tuesday, they got their wish.
