PECO Strike Could threaten Montgomery County

Could a PECO Strike Hit Your Business?

 

Montco, PA — A potential strike involving 1,500 PECO workers could disrupt power, gas service, and customer support starting as soon as today.

For local businesses, that means possible downtime, lost revenue, and delays—especially for those relying on refrigeration, equipment, or steady foot traffic.

 

The Issue:
Union workers are pushing for stronger retirement benefits, while PECO says its pay is already competitive. If no deal is reached, disruptions could last longer than expected.

 

Smart Moves Right Now:
• Double-check backup power
• Prep for outages or delays
• Communicate plans with your team

 

💡 ProBiz Tip: The businesses that plan ahead lose the least when disruptions hit.
