is that the amount of poison between the labour and management is pretty high. >> yes. >> the accused them of giving an anti union negotiator and they also were painting a picture that the unions wanted all this money. >> guest: i think that my idea would be to expand the bart board. with only nine elected members, why not offer to from the governor. one representing the management and one representing the union and the other representing the government. and i think that it would be a good way to move forward. both parties have to take some steps because otherwise we will be back again. >> that begs the question

saying what about us? >> guest: that is one of the things that when we did the charter membership that changed and took muni await simply from being a department into now, an agency, we put a requirement that would represent the commuters. we feel that it is important to bring that ground level view of people into the decision making. >> i do not want to break it down on who won or who lost. but so many people said the union came a bay with a very beneficial contract. for >> guest: to put it into context. they came -- away with a very beneficial contract. and with a wage freeze however, and a contract freeze they did fall behind the times. over the years. and from a political public relations standpoint they really took a beating. i think bart was

a loser because they could have won if they did this correctly. they are projecting a $100 million operating surplus in the next several years. i do not think that this is going to increase ferris a increase---the fares for commuters. >> that is good to hear. and if you'd like to connect with michael. you can do so on twitter@yaki-blog.
