BART, Union Make Deal to Avert Strike
- Share via
Hundreds of thousands of commuters awoke Wednesday to news that Bay Area Rapid Transit trains would be running after an overnight deal between management and a union averted a strike.
BART’s smallest union, representing 238 train controllers and supervisors, said it had accepted a wage and benefits package that had been on the table for days.
The agreement is similar to the contract BART unions representing maintenance and train operators accepted Sept. 4. Those contracts called for a 22% wage increase over four years.
