The strike by ATU Local 265 employees against the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) in Santa Clara County continues into its third day, with VTA taking legal action against the union. VTA claims a breach of a no-strike clause within their existing contract, which they argue remains valid despite contract expiration. The union contends it provided a 72-hour notice before the strike. With no negotiations scheduled, the impact on local commuting remains significant, affecting daily riders amid adverse weather conditions.
"If they felt that we were breaching the contract, we gave the agency a 72-hour strike notice,' said ATU Local 265 President Raj Singh."
"Even after the term ends, it's still a contract that is in full force and effect,' Richardson said."
