The looming BART strike was nipped in the bud. For now, at least. According to CBS 5 / BCN, "[a]fter a marathon round of negotiations, Larry Gerber, the chief negotiator of Service Employees International Union Local 1021, and Jesse Hunt, the president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555, said late Thursday night that they will have their members vote on the contract offer sometime next week." So, BART employees will stay on the job until at least next week. When will that vote happen? No one knows yet.
