The VTA's legal steps to halt a strike from the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 265 hit a roadblock when a judge denied its injunction request. The court ruled that the initial filing was non-compliant with legal standards, prompting VTA to resubmit its application. With the strike impacting over 1,500 workers since March 10, VTA has expressed concern over the economic and health implications for daily transit riders, while union leaders argue that ongoing negotiations have yet to yield a fair contract offer.
VTA has sought legal intervention to stop Amalgamated Transit Union Local 265's strike, yet the court has denied their request for an injunction.
The court ruled that VTA's filing doesn't comply with California's Rules of Court, allowing the transit agency to resubmit a proper application.
VTA claims the strike causes "material health, safety, and economic losses" while the union argues their demands are consistently disregarded.
Negotiations for a new contract began last August, but have stalled, leaving over 1,500 union members without resolution.
