On July 1, 2013 contracts for ATU 1555 and SEIU 1021 BART transit
workers as well as ATU 192 AC transit workers. Workers and union
officials spoke out on June 13, 2013 at a BART board meeting about
the concession demands that the BART management and labor
consultants are demanding after a give five year wage freeze. The
BART board of directors have also spent $1.5 million to hire a union
busting consulting firm lead by Thomas P. Hock of Veola Transportation
Services. This outfit has a record of racism and attacking unions
throughout the country.
Many workers reported on the serious injuries and continuous
health and safety problems. According to their report the BART board and
management paid $320,000 for lawyers to fight a health and safety
ruling by Cal-OSHA.
