BART Officials, Unions Continue Negotiations
Union leaders for the Bay Area Rapid Transit system said Monday they are nearing an agreement on a new contract, but management said they are still far apart, as negotiations continued through the Labor Day holiday.
BART spokesman Mike Healy said the three unions, representing about 2,800 workers, would need to move more on the issue of wages before they reach a settlement.
On Saturday, the train services’ largest workers unions issued a 72-hour strike notice. The deadline is today at midnight, but workers said they would postpone a strike if they receive a suitable offer.
