here is the latest on the president's visit, roxanne. >> when the president arrives here, he is expectedpraise schools that prepare kids with skills they need for the workplace which is to strengthen america's middle class. right now this school has about 300 students it is for grades 9 through 14, which means when the kids graduate they will have degrees in computer or engineering. and it is a free school. >> there is an old criticism in washington that when you are having problems, hit the road. is this visit any attempt to defle deflect all of the criticism he is facing down there. >> that is one view that can be taken. it can be seen as a welcome diversion for the white house for president obama to be here, and he's likely to use this as an opportunity to focus on education and other programs that he believes there should be more funding for. republicans are in general wary of increasing government spending, but it is also important to note that this trip by obama to new york and p-tech is also to attend two important fundraisers this evening which he'll be going to before he returns

reporter: no later than 10:00 tonight, that was the promise earlier this afternoon from siu's president roxanne sanchez. >> if we can do this earlier, we will do this earlier. the community at large and this community will no no later than 10:00 as to what they can experience for tomorrow. >> sanchez also made a passionate plea for both sides to get a deal. there is still a significant gap on the main issue of wages, bart's last known offer was a 12% pay raise which the union would be eroded. our spokes woman said they're getting floods of e-mails and calls with the people who are fed up with this contract deadline and ridership has decreased. >> ridership is down 85,000 trips. friday, monday, and tuesday, 85,000 trips down compared to what it normally is and expected to be. >> last night it was just after 10 p.m. when a federal med yalt or mediator announced it was postponed. the sic sushgs promiseu is promising an agreement by 10:00. they are not sure whether they can join in that decision. today, the lead negotiator returned to the table here. we do understand that the general manager of the

as a matter of fact, bart president tom radulovich and seiu president roxanne sanchez were together when they got the news. now, initially, it came as quite a shock. it sort of brought a reality check to what we're dealing with here. it's not just money and work rules. it's safety, as well. as far as where it goes from here remains to be seen. atu one of the unions says let's already take the contract we have and put it to a vote something that could take up to a week and delay getting back to the table but tonight, antonette bryant didn't want to talk about that. >> i think it's important to remember what happened today. we are not here to talk about work. two men are dead. and this is an extremely tragic situation. i think that's where we need to keep our eyes focused. >> reporter: it's going to be a question the next couple days. >> thank you. >>> we hope you'll stay with kpix 5 and kpix.com for continuing coverage of today's accident and the ongoing bart strike. >>> we'll be right back. ,, the great american novel. so you can happily let life get in the way, while planning for tomorr

the president of the bart board, tom radulovich and the president of one of the striking unions, roxanne sanchez were meeting privately to come up with a way to get the deal and the talks back to a federal mediator, back to a neutral ground, back to a set of languages that could get them back to the table and possibly bart workers back to work by monday or tuesday. one of the variables, however, was the second union, atu, announced that they would take the last best offer that bart had offered to its members for a vote which would surely be rejected. however, that could take four, five or even a week of time before that process is completed. so we have this tragedy, we have the question about whether that vote will take place, but from what i have been told, what this has done is brought a reality check to all the parties involved saying let's tone it down, let's stop pointing fingers, and instead try to point a way out of this that gets the bart trains back running and running safely. >> phil, up until this point, both sides, anything that was happening, they would jump right on it and
