The recent storms and ensuing power outages come as PECO workers strike across the Philadelphia region. IBEW Local 614 — the union representing workers who maintain PECO’s electrical and natural gas system — went on strike on July 4.

Many Local 614 members are paid up to 30 percent less than workers doing the same job at other utilities, the union says.
