We learned yesterday that Mayor Michael Nutter is planning to take some time off. Over at Heard in the Hall, Marcia Gelbart makes an interesting point for anyone who has been following contract negotiations between the city and the municipal unions:
But the great significance of Nutter's Great Escape is this: Looks like labor negotiations with District Council 33 and District Council 47 won't be getting resolved in the immediate weeks ahead.
District Council 47, which represents white-collar city workers, issued a press release this afternoon saying its members would continue working under current contract terms in spite of yesterday's expiration of a two-week negotiating extension.
The union said it would not be seeking another formal extension.
