And that is why were not giving the 72 hour notice at this time we want to leave every opportunity open to try to get this deal done. Were keeping all options on the table. Bart and unions are crunching numbers making sure both sides agree on the math used. While the mediator asked all parties to stop talking about details, there is a tantalizing at this time bit from bart that increased its wage offer of 10 over four years. We had a 10 wage increase and increase that had. Skm have provided an opportunity for thousands of dollars in what private industry would be called bonuses if ridership and economy need meet she sure autos there could be new numbers but bart says is there an 89 million gap.
