The city’s largest public sector union and the mayor reached a tentative deal, ending a work stoppage that led to piles of trash on the streets.

Officials say a union representing thousands of city workers in Philadelphia and the city have reached a deal to end a more than weeklong strike that halted residential curbside trash pickup and affected other services.

AFSCME District Council 33 went on strike at midnight June 30. The strike ended with promises of pay raises for the city's blue collar workers.
