BART Workers Prepare for Looming Strike
June 26, 2013
By Alex Emslie and Peter Lollo, KQED
Bay Area residents are one step closer to a commuting nightmare as BART employees, represented by the transit agency's two biggest unions, authorized a strike Tuesday night. The vote was nearly unanimous. If negotiations continue to stall, the system -- which carries an average of 400,000 passengers a day -- could shut down Monday.
