fully aware of what their understanding was, and they are the same. >> the unions proposed the sentence in section 4.8 which gives workers six weeks of paid family medical leave. managers say they never intended even though negotiator thomas hawks, assistant general manager and attorney signed it last summer. bart's general manager dave informed the union on november 7th of the mistake and later alerted the board. >> we've got to figure out who messed up first. >> tonight's board president says he's hopeful the union might agree to modify the language. board members want to know how much it could cost and whether it could break bart's budget. >> if i find out we can't meet our obligations then to operate the system within our budget then i'm going to, but i need to find out the facts before i make a decision. >> union members just told mae short while ago that they can't change the language in this contract with without going through an entire new vote of their membership.

this provision on paid family leave was bargained out of the contract in a very early stage. >> under the expired contract, employees did not get paid for family leave. they could use up vacation time, sick leave, and any additional paid time to offset the cost, but after that was exhausted, employees footed the rest. >> a good part of that will be what does the staff say about the potential cost. >> using conservative numbers, let's assume the average union member gets a hundred thousand dollars a year in pay and benefits. six weeks of family leave would cost bart $11,500 per employee. multiply that by more than 2500 union members, the total potential cost is about 29 million $a year so bart's expected $67 million contract would now climb to almost a hundred million. bart's board can approve or

reject it. >> i think everyone is so fed up with the situation that shom agreement will be reached. if it's not, everyone should be fire department. >> only about workers get paid family leave. reporting live, tom vacar, ktvu channel 2 news. and our coverage continues on ktvu.com. we posted the family leave section of the tentative contract at the center of this dispute. you can read it for yourself. just look under hot topics right on our home page. there were frightening moments today on an american air license flight that made an emergency landing at san jose international airport because of a bird strike shortly after take off. the federal aviation administration says the plane departed san jose this morning headed to dallas, but at 900 feet, a bird hit the no. 2 engine of the plane. passengers on board said they heard a loud noise. >> i heard a pop, seen a flash,
