(BCN) — The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority board of directors, facing the third week of a strike by transit workers, will meet behind closed doors Sunday after asking the union to delay a vote on its latest contract offer.
Up to 100,000 riders have been affected since Amalgamated Transit Union Local 265 idled buses and light rail when its contract expired March 10.
Before the meeting was announced, the union had called a vote by its 1,500 members for Saturday. Union leaders had encouraged their members to reject the latest VTA offer.
The vote was postponed at VTA’s request pending the outcome of the board meeting, ATU spokesman Ryan Ford said Saturday. No new date has been set, he said.
