Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell spent much of Thursday trying to get the union representing striking Philadelphia transit workers and management to sit back down at the negotiating table. Jesse Russell reports:

A Philadelphia transit strike continues today with 5000 members of the Transport Workers Union off the job. The workers have been unable to bridge a gap in contract negotiations with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. The combined total of riders for the cities subways and busses averages 930,000.
