okay i apologize. it appears that there is an end to the b.a.r.t. strike. the question i haven't heard an answer to yet is when the b.a.r.t. trains could be running again. presumably, that could be sometime tomorrow. whether that's in time for the morning commute, i don't know. let's see if we can hear. >> as a b.a.r.t. professional chapter of seiu, i want to make it clear that this negotiation isn't going to be the end of our discussions on safety. we trust that the general manager, grace cronican will work with us after the contract to try and resolve safety issues and other work issues here at b.a.r.t. we are proud to bring a tentative agreement that prioritizes rider, and worker safety to our members for a vote. this will preserve important workplace protections that enable workers to continue working with management to improve a rapidly growing system. i'd like to thank oakland mayor jean quan. city of devlin mayor, kim sobrante. oakland deputy mayor, sandra swanson. alameda county supervisor, richard valley. >> we've been listening basically an end of the b.a.r.t. strike. they have reached a tentative agreement, they now say they'll bring to their members for a vote. we have not heard for certain if they will be rolling in time for the morning commute, but we hope to get that information within the hour. >> presumably, they would be running for the afternoon commute at the very least. all of this negotiating that's been going on comes after those two b.a.r.t. workers were killed over the weekend. that really seemed to put an emphasis on these b.a.r.t. talks. >> we understand that the strike has been an incredible inconvenience to the bay area commuters. the b.a.r.t. workers are raising issues at the bargaining table that are important to all workers in the region. b.a.r.t. workers, just like other works, just want to be able to afford to live in the bay area. they want to be able to afford health insurance for their families. they want to be safe when they go to work. we want to thank the thousands of bay area workers who stood by us, so we could win a contract that puts the safety and well-being of riders and workers first. the tentative agreement must be voted on, and ratified by members of the union and approved by the b.a.r.t. board of directors before it takes affect. the agreement provides the reasonable wage increases, a compromise on pension and healthcare costs, in addition to changes that allow for innovation, and input from workers. thank you. [ applause ] >> there you have it, it looks like annette bryant from atu is stepping up to the mic now to talk about this agreement that ends the b.a.r.t. strike. >> i'm the president of 1855. i am here to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement with b.a.r.t., but i don't want it to be forgotten that two lives were lost during this time. i want those families to be remembered, and i want them to know that we continue to extend our heartfelt condolences to them and their families. i will read the following statements. today on behalf of the members of atu 1555, we have reached a tentative agreement with b.a.r.t. management on our outstanding contract issues. we will go back to work, and continue our efforts to keep the bay area moving. we did not want to strike. and we are glad to have a tentative agreement that we feel will work for all parties. we would like especially to thank our riders that stood by us and understand what we're doing is fighting for a working wage for families in the bay area, and that we're going to continue that fight for middle class jobs. we would also like to thank those that stood with us. labor, and non-labor that spoke out on behalf of working families in the area. we would like to thank seiu, and afsme for standing by us during this difficult strike. we would like to thank our neighbors for standing by us when we went to the table, fighting for what we knew was right, and a fair and equitable wage for our members. we look forward to collaborating with the entire community, we look forward to growing the regional economy in a way that will support working families throughout the region, thank you. the moment we've been waiting for. as they say god's delays are not god's denials. but this has got to be the last time this happens. i think everyone's fed up, and no one ever wants to see this happen again. the people in this region don't deserve it, and the folks behind me on both sides don't deserve this. if there's any lessons that have to be learned that is that we have to work together, not waiting until the end of a contract, but as we're governing together an organization that deserves a different kind of stewardship in terms of collective efforts. i just want to thank both parties for coming together. this has been an extraordinarily difficult weekend for everybody. this is a reminder, this weekend that this is about people. and a lot of people's lives have been impacted by what's happened. on behalf of all of us in this region, we're grateful we're here. but mark my word, if there's any lesson learned, the that this can never happen again. and i think there's one aspect of this agreement and you'll hear mofor a kind of effort to begin to build me bridges, to deal with grievances, so they don't fester, and they don't stand out, and create the kind of level of distrust that we've seen in this organization over the last 11 months. again, congratulations to everyone involved, and to the people of the bay area, thank you for your patience. no one has been impacted more than all of you, and you deserve this moment more than anybody else. let's not see this happen again. [ applause ] >> you've been listening to lieutenant governor gavin newsom outside in downtown oakland, it looks like grace, the b.a.r.t. general manager is speaking. >> i want to thank our union leaders, our moderator who has been with us for the last few months, and members of the b.a.r.t. board and bargaining team for all the hard that's le standing tonight will allow us to go forward with a new resolve and commitment to working together. there will be no details tonight on the points of the deal, until after the union leaders have had a chance to communicate with their members. i will simple say this offer is more than we wanted to pay, but it also a new path in terms of partnership with our workers and helps us to deliver the b.a.r.t. service for the future. we compromise to get to this place, as did our union members. most importantly, i want to thank the public for their patience, while living through very challenging labor contracts. we are all pleased that the trains will be running tomorrow. hopefully for the afternoon commute. i am reminded every day that the work that we do touches the lives of every bay area resident. the public expects us to keep the bay area moving. today, we have demonstrated that we are finally up to the task, thank you very much. >> there we finally got some clarification, the general manager for b.a.r.t. saying b.a.r.t. training hopefully will be running in time for the afternoon commute tomorrow. but from what she said, they definitely will not be running in time for the morning commute, but the bottom line is that the b.a.r.t. strike is over. it's important to remember that the union membership still has to vote and approve this contract before it actually becomes official. >> she said they didn't want to give out any details tonight. they wanted to give it to the union members, and take it to a vote. the big news is trains hopefully will be running in time for the afternoon commute. we are learning new information tonight on the b.a.r.t. accident that claimed the life of two men over the weekend. lawrence daniels died just four days after his 66th birthday. daniels was a contractor for b.a.r.t., and was brought in as a consulting engineer. christopher shepherd was the other victim. he was a senior track engineer for b.a.r.t. both men were out on saturday inspecting reports of a dip in the track. a trainee was at the controls of the train that struck and killed the men. the lead investigator also says it appears a message did go out over a b.a.r.t. radio system, warning the operator of the presence of the two workers. >> our public information is yes, there was an announcement, and they were aware of the track. >> the train was being run in automatic mode under computer control when the accident happened, and was going faster than initially thought, between 60, and 70 miles an hour. investigators also say an air horn sounded, and an emergency stop was issued. union leaders say long before the deadly crash, they questioned the safety of the managers certification process. >> the certification for train controller is over a year. that has a lot to do with on the job training. actually training at the consol with someone. to be recertified is a little misleading, because they're the they're doing a crash course on books. >> in response, b.a.r.t.'s spokesperson said it is too early to comment about the accident. only on 2, ktvu's debra villalon spoke with a couple of b.a.r.t. workers tonight. >> reporter: it happens every day, julie. it's called going way side. usually, through a locked gate, and then up and out to the tracks. but first, workers get approval, so everyoknows they're out there. >> an employee possibly struck by a train. >> hates hearing that dispatch. >> reporter: as a safety trainer, he knows that man at the control. and the two men he hit. >> i had them in my safety class. it's unfortunate that people don't realize, people that have never been out there on the track, don't realize how dangerous this job is. >> reporter: dangerous, because trains don't slow down for workers. manual throttle tops out at 20 miles per hour. on the tracks, trains are automated to stay on schedule, stuck on high speeds. >> all parties are alerted they must look out for trains on the tracks at all times. >> whenever there is a jumper, or someone hit out there, we all feel it. hit it at 40 miles per hour, mi >> reporter: listening to saturday's incident, she wonders if the call was delayed because she doesn't hear screeching brakes or the cab alert. she says a trained eye, and experience matter. >> it's not easy. >> it looks easy. >> we make it look easy, and there's a lot of things that can go wrong out there. >> people don't realize how quick those trains creep up on you. >> reporter: workers are warned, approaching trains are silent. they go way side in pairs. one as a lookout, and should plan an escape they can reach in 15 seconds. >> this is shared responsibility. i think that, you know, our colleagues in the cab look out for us amend we look out for them. >> reporter: the two men who died here had decades of experience, but most of it on railroads. heavier, and noisier trains than b.a.r.t. investigators interviewed the driver and dispatcher today. reporting live in walnut creek, debra villalon, ktvu, channel 2 news. more

we will have training rolling on all the lines. it may be crowded. but we do feel confident that we can get those trains out for you. >> reporter: at what point do you expect to be back to full service tomorrow? >> it's not clear yet. we have to see. let's hope it's sooner rather than later. >> reporter: this is something that is happening quickly. what is happening right now, in terms of getting things back up to speed? >> sure, we have to do all sorts of inspections. we have to make sure the escalators are working, make sure there's money in all the ticket machines. safety checks. a lot of work that's going to go on behind the scenes. >> reporter: what can you tell us about that one stretch, where there was the unfortunate accident on saturday. >> the ntsb has cleared that stretch of rail for train service, so that the very popular line, the concord line, it is going to be up and operating. >> reporter: that's between the walnut creek and pleasant hill operations. >> yes. >> reporter: thank you for taking a moment to clarify that. b.a.r.t. trains expected to be up and running by 4:00 a.m. tomorrow, perhaps in limited capacity, and they hope to have more service

best shot. these days i'm living with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. at first, i took warfarin, but i wondered, "could i up my game?" my doctor told me about eliquis. and three important reasons to take eliquis instead. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three... unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i've got three important reasons to up my game with eliquis.
