Members of Philadelphia's largest blue collar union, which represents 9,000 city employees, said they are ready to go on strike if they are unable to reach a deal on a new contract with the city.
And, after days of voting, on Monday, votes will be tallied to determine if a strike will happen.
District Council 33, which represents workers employed in city functions such as sanitation, the water department, police dispatch, street maintenance and the airport, said its members voted to authorize a strike last week.
This means union members have given union leaders the ability to call for a strike amid contract negotiations.
Still, a strike may not happen.
For several days, members have been involved in a secret vote to determine if a strike would be called for after it was authorized.
The results of that vote are expected to be unveiled on Monday.
