Has BART found the map to smooth service?
If you were hoping to work from home Monday, your best excuse just pulled out of the station. BART and the tenacious ATU No. 1555 union
reached a tentative accord Monday. You can ride the morning train with a new-found enthusiasm Monday. See you over the coffee machine at 8:30 sharp!
Of course, this is a "tentative" deal, so everyone is on pins and needles until the ATU ratifies this new contract (or doesn't). It is unclear at this moment when the union will hold its vote; ATU President Jesse Hunt did not return our call (and hasn't returned
any of our calls since
SF Weekly reported that some public relations wizard at the ATU
posted a photo on the union's Web site of openly gay BART spokesman Linton Johnson, dressed as a banana and accompanied by the caption "The forbidden fruit of diligent union workers."
Johnson, meanwhile, had very little to tell us.
