A tentative agreement has put a stop to the piles of trash left by striking sanitation workers, but whether union members will vote to ratify the new deal remains to be seen.

According to MIT, Philadelphia's striking workers earn more than $2,000 less than the living wage for a single adult in the city.

The largest municipal workers’ strike in decades in the city of Philadelphia has ended after 9,000 members of AFSCME District Council 33, who are primarily sanitation workers, walked off the job a week ago.
