AFSCME TV: Standing Up to Mayor Nutter

The latest episode of AFSCME TV describes how working families in the city are standing up to Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter (D), who they say is siding with the wealthy and pushing policies that are harming the rest of the city's residents. In particular, they are upset Nutter closed libraries and schools and refused to negotiate with city workers, who have worked without a contract for four years.

In related news, the Philadelphia City Council passed a new ordinance that would require employers to provide earned paid sick leave, but they did not pass it with enough votes to override a veto by Nutter. The mayor has previously vetoed a similar bill.
