Here is a list of services impacted by union workers' strike in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Dozens of services are being impacted after the City of Philadelphia's blue-collar workers' union went on strike.

More than 9,000 workers walked off the job Tuesday in search of better pay and benefits. No deal has been reached with the city.

District Council 33 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees announced the strike on its Facebook page early Tuesday, saying "HOLD THE LINES."

The city outlined the following services that are being impacted by the strike:

Emergency Services: 911 Call Centers & Dispatch

Philadelphia's 911 call centers for emergency dispatch will remain open in the event of a work stoppage and operators will continue to take calls.

"Don't hang up," Mayor Parker and Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said during a news conference on Monday. "Your calls will be answered."

Trash & Recycling Collection

The Department of Sanitation will operate in a modified capacity. There will be no residential collection of trash or recycling effective Tuesday, July 1.

Residents should refrain from placing any trash or recycling out for curbside collection until further notice. The City will open 63 temporary drop-off locations around Philadelphia where residents can bring their trash in the event of any work stoppage.

The city provided a color-coded map showing dropoff locations and the days they are open on its website.

The City has issued the following guidelines for residents:

Recycling

-Recyclable materials will only be accepted at the six Sanitation Convenience Centers.

Department of Public Health

Most Health Department services will continue to be available to City residents. However, some services at the Health Centers may be temporarily unavailable or delayed. Patients with appointments will be contacted about the status of their upcoming appointments.

City officials say the Health Department will strive to offer full services during the strike. Depending on which staff are available on a particular day, be they contract staff, supervisory staff, or DC33 staff, services available may vary. For example, the Health Department will strive to keep Health Centers open, but based upon available staff, some appointments may be moved to virtual, and some services may be referred out.

The City and its partners continue to offer free meals to youth throughout the summer.

• Meals are free for all children and teens ages 18 and under.

• No ID, income verification, or registration is required.

• Most sites serve meals Monday through Friday.

• Meals must be eaten on site at most locations, per USDA regulations.

• Meals are available now through Friday, August 22.

Libraries

Water Department Services & Repairs

While some workers have returned, PWD says it has prepared for this workforce reduction by cross-training staff to perform operational functions ensuring core drinking water and wastewater services. However, parts of its core service delivery may be impacted by reduced staffing.

Some customers could experience service impacts including longer response and repair times (for example - water main breaks, street cave-ins, open hydrants, clogged inlets). During a strike and any city emergency, repairs will be prioritized according to severity of impact and available resources.

PWD's Customer Contact Center

PWD's customer contact line remains open during a strike. Call 215-685-6300 to report issues. Due to limited staffing, wait times for non-emergency calls will be longer than usual. Customers should use self-service options for bill payment and general account information.

Go to MyPhillywaterBill to view account information and make payments. Self-service account information and payment options are also available by calling 215-685-6300 and following the prompts in the main menu.

Representatives will prioritize emergency calls and not be available for billing issues or account information. Non-emergency service inquiries should be held until we can resume full staffing.

Permitting & Construction Projects

Water and sewer connection permit requests should follow the instructions posted on the Water Department's website. The permit desk at Municipal Services Building (MSB) may be impacted by reduced staff levels. Most planned construction projects will stop until staffing levels return to normal.

Meter Appointments

During a strike, only urgent meter work will be performed, such as repairing or replacing damaged or leaking meters. No new meter appointments will be made during a reduced staffing situation. Customers with existing appointments may receive cancellation calls and an option to reschedule.

Department of Streets

The Department of Streets said it will maintain appropriate levels of staffing and resources to ensure traffic signals, traffic signs, roadways, bridges and city-wide street lighting provide safe egress for multi-modal traffic, particularly on high traffic volume routes throughout the city.

Work performed will focus on "make-safe" operations and emergency repairs for conditions and problems affecting traffic safety or impediments to the movement of traffic. In addition, the Streets Dept. said it will continue to coordinate crossing guard coverage for schools currently receiving crossing guard services during the summer months.

"Make-safe" operations can include inspection, barricades or partial closures, relocation of damaged traffic infrastructure, temporary electrical repairs, or temporary signage.

Residents are asked to report damage to traffic infrastructure or unsafe roadway conditions to 311. Any emergency reports, such as a non-working traffic control devices should be reported to 911.

• Potholes, ditches, cave-ins - Streets will respond and make-safe as necessary.


• Milling and Paving- Street resurfacing is not an essential service.


• Traffic Signals - Streets will respond to perform emergency repairs and make-safe.


• Traffic Intersection Control Signs - Streets will respond to repair.


• Streetlight and Alley light Repairs - will continue to be done by contractor, along with maintenance response.


• Streetlight Pole Knockdowns - Streets will perform emergency make-safe repairs for knockdown street light poles.


• Bridge Monitoring and Assessment - Streets will monitor City bridges and identify any potentially dangerous conditions.


• Roadway Monitoring and Assessment - Streets will monitor City roadway structures and identify any potentially dangerous conditions.


• School Crossing Guard and Public Traffic Safety Enforcement Programs - Streets will coordinate the continued staffing of intersections around schools currently receiving crossing guard services for summer programing. Schools and intersections near the Vision Zero High Injury Network will be prioritized.

Parks & Recreation

Philadelphia Parks and Recreation services will be impacted, particularly in pool operations, park maintenance, and event support:

Philadelphia International Airport

Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) will be open and operational, as airline, concessions and federal security staff are not DC 33 staff. The work stoppage does affect several of PHL's teams, including custodial, facilities and maintenance.

Where permissible, PHL staff shortages will be temporarily filled by non-DC33 employees not performing critical or emergency work and contracted employees.
