nbc 10 breaking news. >> happening right now, septa union leaders are announcing a deal. let's listen. >> thank you, gentlemen, very much. >> okay. again, we're pleased to announce a tentative agreement with twu local 234. this will end the strike in the city -- the transit decision will be phased back in today. we believe this agreement is fair to all employees and our customers and taxpayers. we know that the strike has caused hardship for thousands of riders and we sincerely regret

this disruption. we cannot thank our customers enough for their patience. we look forward to getting full service back to them as soon as possible. the negotiators on both sides tirelessly worked to get this agreement done. we thank them for their diligence and professionalism under a lot of pressure. i'd also like to thank governor wolf, his appointee and one of the guys that was just spectacular during this whole negotiation, representative dwight evans. along with mayor kenney, congressman brady and the other elected officials who helped keep the parties at the bargaining table. i'd also like to thank the employees of septa for their hard work, jeff, stephanie and the negotiating team who worked around the clock to get this agreement done. i'd like to think twu local president willie brown for the union leadership and working hard to find common ground that loued us to reach a settlement today. this has been a long few days here. i think we have people in this

room that did a great job bringing it all together. i can't talk enough about dwight and willie and working this out the last two or three days. thank you all for coming this morning. we hope to ride the system home around 5:00. is that correct, jeff? >> it takes us most of the day to completely get up to full service levels.ç by tomorrow morning, the start of service we should be good. >> can people get them now? >> it's hit or miss. employees, we'll activate a route. over the course of the day service will come back up. >> as of right now, employees could start reporting for duty, whatever their job is? >> correct. >> should be able to get a bus home for the p.m. rush but not the a.m. rush. >> even the p.m. rush we should be mostly good. it really will take -- it

usually takes about a full 24 hours for us to be running absolute full service, normal service. >> what do you expect to be running first, buses, trains? >> probably the broad street will come out pretty soon. and then we try to put out some of the heavier bus routes first. then it's just progresses on as the day goes on. >> what would you say you are able to come to an agreement on? there were sticking points, the pension, can you give us details of the contract? and, you know, where you were able to get over a hump so to speak? >> i think these guys worked on a really good agreement that's fair for all parties involved. the union has to take it back for the ratification and go through their process. we're not going to comment on that at this point in time. >> how much did the election y weigh on both of you as you were coming up last night and this morning. >> on my side the election was just one factor but i think the

riding public that we had out there was more important as far as the board and everybody working together to get this thing done. >> how about you, willie? >> it wasn't really a factor for me. we wanted a contract and that's what we did. >> governor wolf said -- did that, motivate them to get a deal done tonight. we were thereç for a week tryi to get the job done enwe got it done. >> what's the length of the agreement? >> five years. >> it's five years. >> five years, yes. >> can i ask everybody one question we get from riders, why does it always take a strike, 11 strikes since the '70s, why does it always take a strike to reach a deal? why can't you reach a deal without v ggetting to the point

both sides working this out. >> we waited that long for that question? our comment, over the years, i've been through three of the strikes, it's just the normal course of business, it's unfortunate but we all work together. it all works out in the end. it's part of the process. >> there are tough issues here. when you think about the president of the transportation, how do we have a balance between the issue about obviously the employees, the customers and the findings? obviously government plays a role. just i think three years ago, the chairman will tell you the commonwealth of pennsylvania did a transportation package. and that helped a great deal. transit is very important to the economy of the southeast and to this region. and the workers and the employees are all working together. it takes a while. you'll have differences.

i would agree with the chairman when he said that appal hissing to ing to a-- apologizing to th for what's happening. it's like working together. you'll have differences of opinion. i think you can see the unity and this is not just fake unity. we worked literally every single day, the governor, the mayor, all that was involved, congressman brady, everybody. everybody has a different approa approach. we ultimately got to where we wanted to, a sediment.ç the thing you don't want to miss is five years. this is a five-year commitment. there are some other issues we still have to deal with. i've said to the president of the transportation workers, we still -- one of the things, we still talk about the pension issue in a larger sense. i've only been on this board for a year. i've said to the president of

the transportation workers, working with the state, i'm willing to work and finance people to help him do some things. jeff has been in his position, what, just a year? he's done an excellent job as the general manager. of this system. so i think you'll see -- one last thing i want to say, it's the chairman's birthday, too. this is a little birthday present for him right there. >> it is a birthday present. >> there's always the birthday. >> i would add the one thing we kind of overlook here, working with willie and the union, the bus drivers and people that are out there, they're the front line people for septa. they're very important. the board really values our drivers. we need to make sure we keep that going forward. >> how will the state fund it? i know from the beginning we were working within a box, there was no money available, city, state or federal level is what we were hearing. will this then be on taxpayers?

will our fares go up? where is the money going to come from? >> i'll let jeff say some of the details. the money is in the budget right now. >> septa board chairman talking about five-year deal that septa has just settled on with the twu union. they said it's going to take a little business to phase the service back in. they do regret the disruptions that it created but governor wolf, representative dwight evans, congressman brady, mayor kenney, all had a role in getting this back together. we go back to the pressç conference. >> what are the terms of the deal. >> we're not going to discuss that until after it's ratified. >> one thing i want to say personally about somebody who's here. he stays in the background and

works on mayor kenney's staff, richie over there, low-key richie. i want to make sure that we thank him for all his work in the mayor's office. >> when the injunction was requested, how did that affect negotiations? did that raise the temperature and make it more difficult to reach an agreement because that happened? >> no. >> the contract was the issue at hand. >> everything was status quo, even with things coming out. did you have blinders on to all of that, the election coming up? >> when i'm in negotiations, i don't read the newspaper. i don't watch tv. i don't watch any of that type of stuff. i guess you could say i did have blinders. i knew about it but i didn't pay attention. >> no matter with an injunction or election, reality of it is

and i've talked to the president of the union, look, we knew this would be settled at some point. the reality of it is, the president of the union was very direct about it and so was jeff, they were focused. i know that's hard for you to believe. they were focused on how we get this done. i know those outside factors you may think are there. they were pros and professionals. they're the ones, jeff and willie, are the two driving forces. >> do we have time for brady to step up here. you stepped forward early on in this and as the chair here of the city of philadelphia, democratic chair, obviously expressing your concern about people being able to get to the polls tuesday. do you think you were able to communicate that message toç bh septa and to twu about how important it would to be get this done?

>> look, everybody knew there was an election day. we were reassured it would be a little inconvenient but we weren't concerned that it would suppress the vote. i knew they'd keep talking. i always say, as long as they are talking, there's always a chance to get something done. >> the clinton campaign communicate with you relative to their concerns about this? >> everybody was concerned. >> that's all the time we have. >> when do you vote on the agreement? >> probably one day this week. >> one day this week is good. >> yes. >> what happens after that? sorry. >> the executive board votes on it first, then it goes to the membership. the membership votes on it. if they pass it, we go from there. >> people there at the bargaining table, hearing from septa officials as well as union

representatives as they say, victory has a thousand fathers. defeat is an orphan. the union still, though, has too ratify this agreement with its members. >> here's what you need to know. there's a deal but if you're waking up right now saying, great, there's a deal, i'll have a bus at my bus stop, the gm said it will be hit or miss, it will take a few hours, the broad street and "l" fairly soon. hit or miss throughout the day, p.m. rush mostly good. by tomorrow morning, full service restored. >> i think most everybody can deal with it for one more day when they know there's an end in sight here. we'll bring you more. stay with us. katie: my mom was a restaurant hostess

at a neighborhood favorite - a place for a good, family meal. she juggled customers, cooks, waitresses -
