Pickets appeared at welfare and unemployment offices across Pennsylvania as two unions representing 11,000 state workers walked off the job while considering a new contract offer. The Pennsylvania Social Services Union and the Pennsylvania Employment Security Employees Assn., which represent welfare, social and unemployment office workers, broke with 11 other unions and declared a strike. Despite the strike, all welfare and unemployment offices were open, according to Gov. Dick Thornburgh’s Administration.
