<p>After teasing us over and over and over with <a href="http://sfist.com/tags/bartstrike">a strike</a> that promised to cripple public transportation and the lives of many, BART and union leaders came to a contract agreement, tentatively. According to first-on-the-scene <a href="http://sfappeal.com/news/2009/07/bart-unions-reach-conceptual-agreement.php">SFAppeal</a>, "management and union leaders this morning announced a tentative agreement on a four-year contract. The announcement was made late this morning in Oakland by BART General Manager Dorothy Dugger, Services Employees International Union President Lisa Isler, and Amalgamated Transit Union President Jesse Hunt." After the sort-of agreement was reached, Duggar, according to <em><a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/07/31/BAFN1926DB.DTL&amp;tsp=1">SF Chron</a></em>, "said the agreement was the result of 'sacrifice and compromise' and would allow BART to continue operations under 'stable financial footing.'"</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
