Bart management and barts two major unions will sit down with a federal mediator today. Its in hopes of finalizing a contract process which began nine months and two strikes ago. Ktvus john baker is at headquarters negotiations in oakland where that meeting begins in a few hours. Reporter headquarters is here at the caltrans building, which is neutral territory. But the parties really dont like each other. A lot is at stake since failure remains an option on a bart contract that has seen the most rancor that we have seen in decades. In fact, bart riders and the public appear to be getting very tired of a dysfunctional system that many say keeps it in limbo. Its saying it needs billions of dollars to move into the future. Riders blame both sides. I dont think its right for them to make more than 400,000 people unhappy. They get good pay, number one. And, two, they should think about us. I think that its nuts for these guys to go on strike. Thats the reason i always vote against bart bonds, taxes, and against caltrans. They are going to go on strike and shut down anyway. Maybe they should have a mediator, you know. Arbitration. Just take it out of the hands of the board and the union and say this is what you are going to do. Reporter there is a lot of politics at play here, and thats important. The unions have to decide who is going to lead them forward into the future. Bart Board Members are elected but this time by the public. Bart management is going to have to make peace with the work he is where there is very little right now. When a true and final settlement will be reached is anyones guess since bart unions are suing bart for unfair labor practices over this in a court of law. Reporting live, channel 2 news. 7 05.
