The Valley Transportation Authority and ATU Local 265 are engaged in mediation to resolve a workers' strike that has halted public transportation in Santa Clara County for four days. The strike has left 100,000 transit users seeking alternative travel means. Although mediation discussions occurred, no agreement has been reached yet. Failure to settle may lead to a court injunction hearing scheduled for September 11, prolonging the situation. Transit users are expressing significant disruption, emphasizing the urgent need for a new contract to end the strike.
For the first time since Sunday, the leaders from each side met for mediation. There was some give and take but no agreement yet.
It's much more critical than you could possibly imagine. Walking from the outpatient to here, I clocked it, and it was like an hour and 31 minutes.
There were discussions occurring to try and come to a solution. I call this the first steps in a while for fruitful discussions and negotiations to occur.
