BART Workers Call For Unity Rally
@ Oscar Grant Plaza
Aug 2 @ 12:00 am – 2:00 am
When BART workers went on strike July 1, the whole Bay Area was affected.

The 30-day contract extension expires Sunday, August 4 at midnight, yet BART management still refuses to negotiate, likely forcing the workers out again starting Monday, August 5. BART workers represented by ATU 1555 and SEIU 1021 invite all … Continued
