A deal between PECO and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 614 ended a three-day strike, the utility's first in its 145-year history. The tentative agreement includes wage increases, pensions, and retirement health benefits for recent hires, with union members now voting to ratify the five-year contract.

PECO workers represented by IBEW Local 614 are set to strike for the first time in over 100 years due to failed six-month contract negotiations. The union, representing 1600 employees, claims members are paid up to 30% less than peers at other utilities, with the next talks scheduled for July 2.
