VTA union files appeal of judge's decision mandating end of strike
Briefly

The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 265 filed an appeal against a Santa Clara County Superior Court ruling that forced them to end a two-and-a-half week strike. The union is challenging the injunction issued by Judge Daniel T. Nishigaya while seeking a better contract deal with the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). The union demands a raise of 18% over three years, but the VTA's offers have not met this requirement. The case raises questions about contract applicability and the right to strike, especially post-contract expiration.
The union's petition is a bid to overturn a California Superior Court ruling that mandated an end to their strike over contract negotiations.
Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Daniel T. Nishigaya imposed an injunction compelling union workers to return to work, backing the VTA's legal claims.
