Strike looming for bus, light rail operators in Santa Clara County
Transportation workers in Santa Clara County, represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union, intend to vote on a proposed contract on Wednesday. The union has stated that if members reject the agreement, a strike may be announced by Thursday. In April, the South Bay Labor Council granted the union approval to strike. However, the union is required to give the transportation authority at least 48 hours notice prior to engaging in collective action- which then requires further approval from the governor’s office.
