Philadelphia's largest labor union, AFSCME District Council 33, is getting ready to cast votes to decide if a new contract will be ratified.
Some unions had to balance supporting the striking AFSCME DC 33 workers with maintaining their relationships with Mayor Cherelle Parker.
Here's a timeline breaking down everything we know so far about the labor talks between District Council 33 and the city of Philadelphia.
Trash pickup is scheduled to resume in Philadelphia on Monday after the DC 33 strike ended, but neighbors say some people are still dropping off garbage.

This neighborhood trash drop-off site has become a local tourist attraction, with people coming to take pictures. It is one of 63 drop-off sites where residents can place trash on their designated collection day.
