Philadelphia faces mounting trash and tension as a strike by many of the city's blue-collar workers enters its eighth day.

Regular trash pickup will resume in the City of Philadelphia on Monday. Trash pickup was just one of several city services affected by the eight-day strike. Union members were told by DC 33 leadership that they need to return to work as soon as possible. Maintenance staff at city pools are back at work, but the water has yet to return.

Mayor Cherelle L. Parker and Greg Boulware, president of AFSCME District Council 33, reached an agreement early Wednesday, ending an eight-day strike. Here's what it looked like.
