New contracts for 730 SEPTA workers approved

Contracts were approved Thursday for two unions representing about 730 SEPTA workers. The contracts, approved by the SEPTA board Thursday following ratification by union members, will provide five-percent pay increases over the 31-month term of the pacts, in line with the pattern established by last year's settlement with the largest of SEPTA's 17 unions, Transport Workers Union Local 234.
