Mayor Cherelle L. Parker speaks to business leaders at the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia annual luncheon on Wednesday.called on Philadelphia’s business community Wednesday to follow her administration’s lead and require remote employees to return to in-person work, saying a cleaner and safer future for Center City is “only sustainable if they come back to the office.”
Parker is seen as more of a centrist, and her speech Wednesday was the first indicator of how the dynamic will unfold during her tenure. Aside from her call to action on returning to in-person work, the mayor’s remarks were likely what the business executives gathered at the Pennsylvania Convention Center wanted to hear.
“If you want to see order return and you contribute to PHL TCB, it’s going to help us hire more cleaning ambassadors to good jobs,” she said. “Your support and partnership in this area is what we need to help move us a little further.”
