J.Davis5 hr ago

International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers, Transportation Division, Local 1594 voted on Nov. 8 to authorize a strike amid contract negotiations with SEPTA

The union, referred to as SMART Local 1594, represents about 350 Norristown High Speed Line, bus, and trolley operators in Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties , according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

If a new contract isn't reached by midnight, SMART's members could walk off the job Tuesday , leaving suburban riders without methods of mass transit, NBC10 reports.

This is all happening as SEPTA is also negotiating with Transportation Workers United Local 234 for a contract.
