Family leave, but that has been taken out now. Now unions did approve a tentative agreement november 1st including this provision, but bart managers say the provision was included by mistake and approved the contract without it, prompting a lawsuit by the unions. The two sides spent the last month working to resolve the dispute. We still need to communicate with our employees and the board of directors about the agreements. If a Board Meeting is called, we will be sure to announce it to the public and until further notice we wont beholding commenting any further beyond the statements and the agreements posted on our website.

But it is hard because because i feel like i am on borrowed time with my daughter so its like, i have to like call people and say everybody hurry up and come and see her because we only have three more days. So thats one of your major objectives, is to make sure everyone can come say goodbye . My major objective is to keep her alive, to keep her to keep her on. I believe she will heal. This is not similarly your hope to keep her on life support through christmas, you want to keep her on life support as long as you possibly can . Yes. Hoping she will recover. Yes, and i really believe she will. I feel like shes recuperating. That isnt what the doctors tell you. How hard is it to hear that from the doctors . It hurts. It hurts a lot for someone to tell you that someone that you just love so much, cuz i loved my daughter before i even knew her. When i was pregnant with her i loved her. I will fight for my daughter until i cannot fight anymore and as a mother i dont know when a mother loses her fight for her children. But you are not ready to lose this fight .

This is what she saw who she returned from shopping at the bayfield mall target. At the time she was gone, two men got into an argument in the parking lot near old navy. One pulled out a gun and shot the other. The shooter drove off in a white compact vehicle. The 24yearold victim was taken to the hospital with nonlifethreatening injuries. It was very surprising and a shock to come out of the store and theres yellow tape and police everywhere. She doesnt think the mall is in the best area and is now even more concerned. If i knew it happened today, i wouldnt be here right now. The question now, is there a threat to the community. In cases like this, we always believe that. Someone who is brave enough to do a shooting in a large mall in day light in the east bay where there are many shoppers during the Holiday Season is quite capable of am anything. But the officer said people should feel safe because there are extra officers and undercover officers patrolling the mall. Just shortly after that there was another one at the west valley mall in tracy. A glass door was shattered but no injuries reported. That shooter also drove off and hasnt been caught.

Target has more trouble this morning in connection with the massive Security Breach this exposed millions of credit cards. At least five customers have filed class action lawsuits and some state attorneys general have started their own investigations. John alston has the details. Target shoppers are waiting and wondering if they will see bogus charges pop up on their credit and debit cards in the coming weeks. I dont know, probably just close my account. I mean, if what you are saying is true and what i am hearing is true. Because i cant afford this to happen. Hackers got into target Security System and grabbed information from 40 million credit and debit cards between black friday and last sunday. Brian krebs, the security expert who exposed the breach, said the said the stolen data had already been used to make phoney duplicates, which is flooding the market. Its amazing how fast the entire affair went down. A lot of people expected the cards to emerge in the next couple weeks but they are here now. Target claims that debit card pin numbers were not stolen so no one can drain your cash from an atm. But the company is in full damage control mode. At target we get a 10 discount if you are a team member and we want to extend that Team Member Discount to all of the guests that come and shop with us this weekend.
