Happier if we had an agreement. The whole idea is to get an agreement. A 60day cooling off period is in place, but frustration and tempers are heating up tonight. Good evening. Im ama dates. Thank you so much for joining us. The bart strike has been averted at least for now. The 60day cooling off period gives bart and its unions time to work on an agreement. But as abc7 News Reporter sergio reports, talks broke off tonight and there is no new date set for the next meeting. The negotiating day ended with no deal made. Unions uh accused bart management of failing to address safety issues. We will not and cannot settle until our safety concerns not just for the workers, but for the riding public are addressed in a serious way. And bart management said the unions didnt like the raise that was offered. I think a 10 wage is more than fair to our employees, so i think we had a good confidence level in the offer we made. It is regrettable they chose not to accept it. They all walked away after
Workers, but for the riding public are addressed in a serious way. And bart management said the unions didnt like the raise that was offered. I think a 10 wage is more than fair to our employees, so i think we had a good confidence level in the offer we made. It is regrettable they chose not to accept it. They all walked away after spending two hours with the mediator. They all say no progress was made today. So everyone is in the cooling off period that was requested by governor jerry brown and ordered by a San Francisco superior court judge. Go ahead and sign what is fin lasting 60days. The bart trains will keep running and the negotiators will keep talking. Bart riders are hoping not to see a repeat of the standoff when the court order expires. It is great that the strike is not happening. They cant keep pushing things like that. The bart managers and the union say they do not see eye to eye on a deal. I think 10 is a fair increase and the system does need the investment as well. We

A former winner and first timer claimed victory
in the 36th running of New Zealand’s longest running
mountain bike event.

this annual gathering has become the cultural hub of New

Namibia.
