Talks Break Off in Philly Transit Strike

Newsday reports on the special deal some government workers get:

Contract talks between the transportation authority and the Transport Workers Union broke off Sunday night, and about 5,300 union members walked off the job for the first time since 1998.

The transportation authority said union leaders rejected a contract offer that would have required employees to pay 5 percent of their health insurance premiums. Veteran workers currently pay nothing. The offer also included a 9 percent pay increase over three years.

Do you get that deal at work?
