Union Strike could depress black turnout in Pensylvannia

"An ongoing transit strike in Philadelphia is raising concerns among some Democrats that the stand-off could depress voter turnout in the battleground state's deep-blue stronghold – but union officials say the agency is using Election Day as a scare tactic and unfair bargaining chip.
Thursday marked Day 3 of the strike that’s crippled the commute for thousands of people working in and around Philadelphia.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority said in a statement that if the strike looks like it will continue through Nov. 8, the agency will pursue legal action to force the union to lift it for Election Day.
“If we foresee an agreement will not come to pass, SEPTA intends to seek to enjoin the strike for November 8^th to ensure that the strike does not prevent any voters from getting to the polls and exercising their right to vote,” the agency said in a written statement Tuesday." FOX
