PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Gov. Ed Rendell says a negotiations in Philadelphia's transit strike have broken off.
Early Saturday evening, Rendell called for members of the city's largest transit union to vote on a contract proposal presented by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.
Rendell announced late Friday night that a tentative agreement has been reached to end the transit strike.
But a national spokesman for the transit union early Saturday called the reports "premature."
Transport Workers Union Local 234 has been on strike for five days
