PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A coalition of unions that represent thousands of Philadelphia city employees announced a lawsuit against Mayor Cherelle Parker over her return-to-office policy.

The civil suit was filed Tuesday in the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia County.

In May, Parker announced that all city workers would be required back in the office effective July 15, 2024, a policy change said to affect about 4,700 workers across all departments.

The policy was said to sunset a virtual work policy, enacted in in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
