Bay Area Transit Workers Go On Strike

MILLBRAE, CA - JULY 03: Greg Burrell (R) from Florida, has his son Ben Burrell (L) take a picture of him in front of a closure sign at the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Millbrae station on July 3, 2013 in Millbrae, California. For a third day, hundreds of thousands of San Francisco Bay Area commuters are scrambling to find ways to work as two of San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit's (BART) largest unions remain on strike while they continue contract negotiations with management. Train operators, mechanics, station agents and maintenance workers are seeking a five percent wage increase and are fighting management who want to have workers to begin contributing to their pensions, pay more for health insurance and reduce overtime expenses.
