The
workers for BART failed again to come to an agreement with management. So
they went on strike again. Just a little
over four months of there first strike in July. Most of the commuters that take BART into San
Francisco , Oakland , Berkeley from the out lining areas are angry.
I have a friend that takes BART from Oakland to Fremont and then takes the bus to Milpitas . She told me her commute today is
horrible. She had to get up three hours earlier to catch the bus, 4 transfers
later and still got to work late. I could see why commuters are angry. I think
that the BART employees are being
unreasonable. They are fortunate they have a job. There are a lot of
people who have been looking for a job for years. A Oakland man was arrested for throwing a
traffic cone at a picketing BART striker. If BART employees don't come to an
agreement then, it could get more violent.
