The unions that own and run BART are demanding more wages and benefits and no cut backs. This at a time when the policies of the SEIU, the CTA and the other unions have killed the economy and brought us bad regulations and high taxes.
"Among the facets of the most recent BART contract:
# BART workers pay less than $82 a month for health insurance, while the agency contributes more than $1,000.
# Dental insurance is free.
# BART kicks in an average of $1,200 a month toward a pension to which employees contribute nothing.
# Employees qualify for lifetime health coverage once they are vested for five years."
Lifetime health care after working FIVE years?
Now you know who owns and controls BART. Shame on us for spending billions and giving BART to unions their own toys to own--us.
