Police was throughout the summer and Firefighters are coming up soon. They're legally not allowed to strike.It's the white (DC 47) and blue collar (DC 33) unions that are the ones who can strike and who were probably sending out that letter today. @barryg, Philly Firefighters and Police contracts are worked out through arbitration hearings.

Get ready for some fireworks, folks. Nutter was basically powerless with the TWU but he is going to be tough on these guys--I mean, we're broke.
