PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Negotiations between the FOTP Lodge 109, the union representing SEPTA's police officers, and SEPTA concluded without a deal on Tuesday, a SEPTA spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said the FOTP will poll their members Wednesday on the latest proposal and SEPTA expects that to take until Wednesday night. SEPTA police won't go on strike Tuesday or early Wednesday, according to the spokesperson.

Earlier Tuesday, union vice president Troy Parham said any contract negotiation centers around three things: wages, benefits and the term of the contract. Parham said both sides have agreed on wages and benefits, but they're stuck on the term of the contract.
