“It looks like the agency reached out to the governor’s office for a cooling off period,” Raj Singh, a spokesman for Amalgamated Transit Union Local 265, said in an interview.
South Bay public transportation workers will continue to strike through the weekend, a union spokesman said, after negotiations between Valley Transportation Authority officials and the union failed Saturday.
“It looks like the agency reached out to the governor’s office for a cooling off period,” Raj Singh, a spokesman for Amalgamated Transit Union Local 265, said in an interview. “‘They’re exploring all options except for the one that obviously resolves this conflict, which is coming to the table and presenting us a fair contract proposal.”
Transportation workers just finished up nearly a week of picketing when VTA and union officials agreed to meet Saturday evening.
