St. Louis city officials plan to open the Cold Weather Overflow shelter tonight.
The shelter provides a place for homeless men, women, and children to get protection from the cold when other shelters are full. There are 75 beds in the shelter, but the city has a policy of not turning any in need away.
This will be the sixth time the shelter is open this winter season.

The union also wants authority to call a strike if talks break down.
