At least one BART union agreed Saturday to put the transit agency's contract proposal to a vote, but commuters looking for a quick end to the 2-day-old strike should hold off on the celebrations.
Speaking from the entrance of the shuttered Pittsburg BART Station, Antonette Bryant, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555, said she expects that vote to result in a "resounding no."

A spokeswoman from Service Employees International Union Local 1021, BART's largest union, declined to say whether that union also would allow a vote on the contract.

With no negotiations scheduled, both sides said Saturday that they were waiting for the other side to budge, an institutional game of chicken.

I hope BART doesn’t blink. The unions need to be crushed.
The unions. Holding the Bay Area HOSTAGE with their shutdown. Where is all the “outrage” from the commie libs and Barry’s “media” toads?
sad,, Bart used to be a top notch ride.. they say the employees make a utility work based on the service they deliver.
but when they’re not running, who is served then?
I wonder is HSR will have a similar union and management running it into the deep debt pile too?
I’m enjoying seeing the San Fran liberals being screwed by their wonderful union thugs!!!
With a real unemployment rate of 20%, Just FIRE EVERYONE.
Having a gay old time, no doubt.
Not you...the San Frans.

What? Bart Simpson is on strike? Oh the horror of it.
And Obama said this would never happen.
Any normal non-government competent adult could see, back in the late 60s, that allowing Unions to control ANY extensive, pervasive social necessity will inevitably be perverted into a predator/prey or master/slave inversion.
Even a perfect socialist like FDR was able to see that...
