This occurred when one of three union memberships, the ATU, voted not to ratify the contract. The other two memberships did ratify, but they have said that they will honor a strike called by ATU.

There is still the possibility that both sides could return to bargaining before or after the strike deadline. However, if I were planning on using BART after Sunday, I'd have a back-up plan.
The BART release is here.
