Governor jerry brown stepped in late last night and ordered a 7 day inquiry into the contact dispute. Labor negotiations are contentious. These ones have been particularly contentious. As a board member its frustrating to say you are offering best benefits and to be accused of Union Busting. Cate caugurian has reaction to this breaking news from both sides and joins us from San Francisco. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Both sides, both the unions and bart have the work cut out for them this morning. In addition to trying to hammer out a deal, they have to answer to governor jerry brown. Governor brown issued that threatened to shut bart down. Three member board to investigate and directed this panel to provide him with a written report within 7 days. The governor stepped in after the last minute after negotiations were at a standstill. We think the factfinding itself is going to be important for the governor and the public to understand. The governor saw there is not the leadership on the employer side to reach an agreement. Reporter during this period, all strike ands lock downs are prohibited as the investigation is in progress. After this order was issued, the unions issued their own statement accusing bart management waiting until the last minute on core issues on pay and benefits. Bart says they were the ones who reached out to the governor after they were so far apart. Reporting live, back to you. Lets look ahead. What happens after the 7 days . Could we see another threat of strike again . Im sure nobody wants that at this point. They can still negotiate while this order is in place. But as you can imagine, they will both be busy trying to present their case. As i understand, a week from now, could see the threat of another strike or the governor will issue that 60 day cooling off period. Thanks so much.
