Two sanitation workers who were on the picket line in the AFSCME District Council 33 union strike were hit by a vehicle in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section late Thursday night, police said. A driver is already in custody and charged with hit-and-run and driving under the influence.

Trash piled up in parts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Thursday (July 3) as thousands of city workers continued to go on strike.

Many AFSCME DC 33 members have been itching for the union to take a dramatic stand against the city ever since then-Mayor Rendell won concessions in a 1992 contract. On Tuesday, they got their wish.
