BART Strike Ends
Posted on October 22, 2013by oaklandsocialist
Late last night, the leaders of SEIU 1021 and ATU 155 – the two unions on strike at BART – announced a tentative agreement and called the strike off.

Strike Strategy

The strike was “organized” (if one wants to call it that) like a driver driving with one foot on the gas and one on the brake. For instance, the picketing at the Port of Oakland (where BART has a facility) was one of the most effective pickets. It was called off after a day, and one worker reported that his union official called it off because they didn’t want to make BART angry.
