Petition: Pay Philly’s Essential Workers What They Deserve Now

Philadelphia’s streets are overflowing with rubbish and temperatures are rising — yet the workers who keep the city running remain on strike. Sanitation workers and emergency dispatchers are demanding fair pay, better healthcare, and basic dignity. But Mayor Cherelle Parker still refuses to meet them halfway.

These essential workers have kept Philadelphia going through heatwaves, emergencies, and daily challenges. Now they’ve been left to protest in dangerous conditions — some have even been hit by cars while picketing. The city claims to offer a 13% raise, but union reps say that’s misleading, as it includes old deals — not new ones.

Meanwhile, garbage piles up, temporary dump sites are full, and residents are left in limbo. These workers deserve real wages that reflect today’s cost of living.

Sign the petition now to demand Mayor Parker delivers a fair contract. Sign the petition now to Support those who keep the city alive.
