Reports lambasts California´s BART police

California´s Bay Area Rapid Transport system, also known as BART, recently faced a possible workers strike.  But today, unionized workers have reached a contract settlement with BART.

Under the agreement, workers will sacrifice pay increases for the first year of their four-year contract and will reduce overtime hours.   Workers were promised small pay raises for the subsequent years of their contract.

Also in the Bay Area, an independent investigation has found the actions of BART´s police department “seriously deficient,” on the night Oscar Grant was killed.  FSRN´s Africa Jones reports.
