Negotiations between Pennsylvania Turnpike officials and the Teamsters are scheduled to resume tomorrow, Tuesday Nov. 9, in Harrisburg.

Talks between the two sides ended in an impasse a week and a half ago, with Teamsters representatives alerting Turnpike management that the union might call a strike without notice.
Turnpike Chief Executive Officer Joe Brimmeier said he hopes a walkout can be avoided. "I am optimistic that we'll be able to resolve our differences and work out a new agreement that both sides can accept."
Some 2,000 union employees - including toll collectors and maintenance workers represented by Teamsters Locals 77 and 250 - have been working without a new contract for 13 months.
Since the initial strike threat, the Turnpike has had this notice on its web site:
"In the event of a strike by Turnpike union workers, E-ZPass and cash customers will have to pay temporary flat toll rates of $2 for passenger vehicles and $15 for commercial vehicles — regardless of distances traveled. Toll collectors will accept only cash. No toll tickets will be issued at entry. For E-ZPass customers with fares less than $2 (passenger vehicles) and less than $15 (commercial vehicles), accounts will be charged the actual fare."
