As of 3 a.m. today, Nov. 3, SEPTA workers will be on strike, according to an Inquirer article published early this morning.

SEPTA originally planned to strike Saturday at midnight, but negotiators worked a deal to hold the strike until after the Phillies’ World Series stretch in Philadelphia ended with tonight’s Game 5 of the series.

Temple issued a statement to all students and employees last week that the university would run as usual.

“You should know that if there is a transit interruption, Temple University will be open for business as usual. All classes and events will be held as scheduled,” the e-mail, sent from Vice President of Operations William Bergman, read. “Employees are expected to report to work on time to ensure uninterrupted service to students and patients.”

Temple has also prepared “contingency plans,” including discounted parking for car-poolers and shuttles from locations listed here.
