I'm baffled at how Philly government considered members of DC 33 - particularly sanitation workers, 911 operators & Water Dept. workers - "essential" during the pandemic but not essential when they ask for a living wage in the city where they work which also has the highest wage tax in the nation.

Anyone who’s ever walked around Philly would understand this. Nearly every single intersection is filled with impatient two ton vehicles. And we’ve got an infrastructure that only feeds it.
Philadelphia has a rate of traffic deaths 3x higher than New York City.
