AFSCME District Council 33, representing more than 9,000 city employees from dispatchers to sanitation, was on strike for eight days.

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.

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.
