pensions, but a few sides are at odds on wages and health care. >> first, we talked with rock ansanchez, the met of sciu 1021 and she said the issues are settled on employment: zeros and pensions and

should pay for health care and raises over the next three or four years. >> yes. there are some other issues around safety and other work- type job issues. >> the big ones are pay and healthcare. how far a part are the two sides? >> i believe they coming closer together. i know the unions have made what we consider a very responsible and reasonable proposal to the employer. >> b.a.r.t., however, said there are still $100 million difference. >> and we have argued that all along. we have never been 100 ms. unless that is the beginning and we always argued on the numbers. >> okay, i guess that is what negotiations are about. >> that is. the negotiations are about compromise. >> do you think that b.a.r.t.'s been welling to compromise? >> you know, this time around, and i have been at b.a.r.t. new decades and negotiated through several contracts. i think we have in the seen traditional bargaining this year and this is what caused a lot of the problems. people have come to the table with sort of ideological shoulds and instead of what can be done, what should be done we on the other side are not dealing with what is fair but what is possible. if people come to the table with what can be done and what is possible, then you have fair bargaining and you reach good agreements. you have to realize b.a.r.t. has been negotiating with their workforce for decades. they have managed their liabilities and funded their benefit liabilities so well that it is one of the most profitable and financially stable transit agencies in the entire country. >> the question that b.a.r.t. puts out there is they want to maintain that in the years coming and that is what we're debating about and we're going to have someone from b.a.r.t. here in a couple of minutes. back to this question, we have three different unions involveed and you have gone out on stroke once the. the public didn't like that at all new facing the possibility of a strike in four days. is that still a possibility or is there any talk of taking strike off of the table? >> there will be a possibility of a strike if both sides can not reach an agreement the writers in the community -- riders in the community have a realty to be upset as the workers. our family and friends are heavily impacted let alone the loss when you're on strike. we believe the first stroke could have been avoided. not with thesho shoulds but what can be done. >> are you willing to take the strike threat off of the table since there is progress being made? >> i don't think, the way you remove the strike threat off of the table is by continuing to bargain in good faith and moving reasonable proposals, having good judgement and that is the way you remove the threat of the strike away. >> if we don't get to an agreement by the deadline, do you see a strike happening right then and there or will you continue to talk? >> you know, i can't speak on behalf of the bargaining team what i would hope is that we, even before the deadline, reached an agreement -- . >> if we don't? >> if we don't, obviously, strike is always, you know, a last alternative. a last alternative when the relationship com meet -- completely breaks down. we have been doing everything in our power to avoid that. we have been reaching out to legislatures and all sorts of leadership to intervene and to move both sides into a reasonable compromising area. >> at this point, we're not willing to take strike off the table even if we're talking? >> no. no. but, again, that is just part of bargaining. it's part of bargaining. if you can't reach an agreement, unfortunately, talks break off, parties go their separate ways and there is a strike. >> and that is what we're concerned about. we're going to check in with our board director in our next segment. first, our weather this morning. it's looking really nice out there by the bay and coast. >> uh-huh. >> and you have to work today. >> and it's going to be nice all evening and plent of beach

raiders are playing at the crazy hour of 8:35 tonight. the temperature at game time of about 64 degrees and under mostly clear skies. and this is what is happening. another warm day for you. sunshine through tuesday and the temperatures and clouds come in midweek and the numbers inland will be 20 degrees cooler by midweek than they are today and that is because of the big change in the pacific and that big pressure trough is coming in and while it's sunny and warm today, it's cooler by tuesday. >> and they get relatively mild weather today, it's 44 degrees at tahoe and a chance of snow on wednesday. pleasant today and for us, 80 degrees at ukiah and in sacramento. 67 in mont ray. and san francisco at 76 degrees. 83 for san jose and 87 for livermore in the north bay and low 80s.

warm as this weekend. score time off today and head for the beach, some place and a warm weather. enjoy it while you can. >> and some people have a couple of hours to do so. >> that's right. >> and

the ferry building to reduce congestion. b.a.r.t. and the unions are taking the day off from negotiating today. despite talking all week long, there is no deal. >> and we spoke with the board member who is past the mid-way point in terms of what they're offering. there is progress but the question is how much? >> i would beg to differ. we -- in negotiations, both sites start at unrealistickens, let's say, but the goal is to come to the middle, to a realistic conclusion. we have moved and made many leaps. the other side has not. we're past the mid-way point in negotiations. >> okay, as we move along, the public sort of feels look they're sitting on the sidelines right now. >> uh. >> what are you hearing, since you're an elected representative. >> sure. >> and what are you hearing from people? >> a number of things. what we hear most through e- mails and what have you is get rid of them already. pull a ronald reagan and let's get people new. that is not something we can practically do, though. on the other hand, we have had a surge have a done. it was facilitated by the bay area council not b.a.r.t., and it showed that 63% of the respondents support the union's accepting our proposal that is on the table. of the people who identified as democrats, 72% do not support our unions going on strike. >> all right. now, if most people say they should accept the deal, however, if we look at ac transit, the bus service in the east bay. >> uh-huh. >> they had a vote on their contract, they rejected a similar offer to the one that you're offering b.a.r.t. are you willing to sweeten your deal? >> the board would need to discuss that. we have given a certain amount of leverage too the negotiating team -- to the negotiating team, and we trust in them to use the leverage the board has given them so far. >> that is not a yes or a no? >> that's correct. not a yes or no. >> there is still room to move between now and the deadline. >> i'm not going to say whether or not there s. all i'm going to say is we have set parameters and the negotiating team is responsible for using that. >> it's interesting when we get to the phases of the negotiations. >> uh. >> it comes down to let's -- a deal or a strike. >> uh. >> and usually what happens, we start to to see the shell game go out. >> uh. >> and we agree to various different things and b.a.r.t. agreed to increase its offer and the public says okay, i will live with that. is that what you see happening this time out or are you going to get hardballed? >> that is hard to say. my personal outlook, speak independently here, the unions made it clear to us it must go their way or the highway, what we're hearing. meaning it's caving in or accepting a strike. where the board will come in that regard, i can't say. >> all right. as far as down the line, if you guys do give in or do concede, do you think the reiter -- writes will go along with that as well? it's going to mean less money for cleaning stations, cars and other things. >> the public has spoken. 78% prefer prioritizing state of good repair needs over and above giving sweetening our deal. >> if there is a strike, do you see it as being a long one? >> this is hard to say. it's up to the union. unlike the federal government, this is not a do or die situation. >> if there is a strike, do you plan on running trains without using supervisors? >> it's something that we are discussing or will be discussing and staff is taking preliminary measures in case the board authorizes that. >> you v however, been training managers to run the train? >> the staff have been doing some refreshment training, let's say. in case the board ising -- willing to authorize. that. >> why are we not committing to anything this morning? you seem very back and forth. >> i'm not committing to anything because i represent the bull board here at the table today, and the board has not discussed this. >> is the board appearing to be united in how it wants to am the next few days? >> the board hbo u -- has been united in as much as what you have seen the leverage and the parameters we have set for the negotiating atm. >> final question, if you were to make an odds, would you say there is going to be a strike? >> i would say that is up to the unions. >> and that is the ultimate end to it. yeah, not a lot of answers. we're only four days away. >> a lot of questions into this final round. coming up, another look ated the morning's top stories. >> and including the community concerns prompting pg&e to shut down an a large underground pipeline on the peninsula. , ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, . looking at this morning's top stories. tomorrow, officials with pg&e will meet with san carlos city officials about shutting off a transmission gas pipeline after a pg&e

as have the first win of the post season. they beat the detroit tigers last night. one-0 and the catcher, blake, knocked in a winning run with the bases loaded at the bottom of the 9th. game three is
