For those who you utilize Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) to get to work, trains will be in operation through Sunday as negotiations continue. Should negotiations between BART and the union fail over the weekend, a strike will begin Monday—giving the public a 72-hour notice. Talks will resume at 10:00 am this morning
Here is a look at the official notice provided by BART
BART and Unions sign extension, preventing strike through the weekend as talks continueBART spokesman Rick Rice issued the following statement as the cooling off period ends and labor negotiations are extended:
“BART and its unions signed an extension of talks through Sunday night, averting a strike through the weekend as negotiations continue. The unions announced that if there is no agreement by Midnight at Sunday, they will strike on Monday.”
“We are grateful the Bay Area will not be impacted by our unions for the next few days and that the trains will be running while we continue to negotiate. BART was prepared to offer a new proposal today but the unions told us they were not ready for it. We will continue negotiations tomorrow at 10am.”
