This morning it took KQED's reporter Andrew Stelzer more than three minutes to bike from the beginning to the end of the queue at Oakland'd Jack London ferry terminal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/nkk4TA2cTrg?list=UU0FISFbEaHFc5ccrIgkZ3mg\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Confusion at SFO\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's worse than jetlag? Flying into a transit strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The BART strike is causing some confusion for travelers flying into San Francisco International. The airport is providing free shuttle service to the Millbrae CalTrain station, but finding the shuttle can be challenging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe Quinn from New York says he just arrived to visit friends in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[I] Kept stopping at information station [after] information station to find out where I had to go,\" he said. \"Probably been walking around for about twenty minutes or so. There's no real signage or anything telling you where to go or where things are located.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quinn said his friends sent him text messages that BART was down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, many other travellers said they didn't know anything about the strike until they reached the BART entrance and found it closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike and Laura Cartner just arrived from Maryland for the their 20th anniversary: \"There was nothing to tell us it was closed before we got here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be fair, a recorded voice periodically announces BART is closed and tells passengers to go to an information booth for help.

Stephen Linaweaver often paddles an old whitewater kayak across the Bay from Oakland to San Francisco. He's made the trip about 100 times -- and says it's empowering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It makes a big difference, especially at the end of the day when you look up at the bridge or you look at BART, if there's delays or it's not running, and you just get on the water, and you're going to get across probably before most folks who are in cars,\" Linaweaver said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102259\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/1655-SF-South-Beach-Marina-Launch3-web.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-102259\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/1655-SF-South-Beach-Marina-Launch3-web.jpg\" alt=\"Stephen Linaweaver paddles out from the South Beach Marina in SF after work.

He jokingly tweeted that BART should reopen the tube to pedestrians during the strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Probably it would not be completely safe because there's not a railing, for example, and they'd also have to turn off the third rail,\" Chandonia said. \"But it would be nice if it were possible today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, not very plausible. ... But Linaweaver is looking for paddling companions, and he'll likely be on the water early tomorrow morning, weather permitting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Car-sharing companies win big\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's becoming clear that some of the big winners of the BART strike are car-sharing companies. \u003ca href=\"http://www.side.cr/\">Sidecar\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lyft.me/\">Lyft\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://rtr.avego.com/rtr-desktop-web/\">Avego\u003c/a> began promoting their mobile apps and reaching out to drivers in their networks over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nick Allen, co-founder of Sidecar, said he saw a 50 percent increase in ridership on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We see rides across the bridge and down in the Peninsula every day, and we’re seeing increased usage of that type because of the BART strike,” Allen told KQED's Peter Jon Shuler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get drivers to participate, Sidecar offered extra incentives such as waiving its usual 20 percent of the take and allowing drivers to keep 100 percent. Lyft also waived its surcharge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oakland City and East Bay Parks\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Oakland city employees are back at work today after their one-day strike. But union officials say they could walk out again. Negotiations are scheduled to begin on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One Oakland parking enforcement officer crossed picket lines yesterday, though, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/breaking-news/ci_23578167/oakland-meter-maid-crosses-picket-line-tickets-unsuspecting\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Tribune\u003c/a>. The worker, driving a city-issued car, was spotted ticketing cars in the vicinity of Broadway and 40th Street. He refused to give his name to a reporter and said that he got paid well and didn't support the strike. All of the citations will be automatically dismissed, the city announced this afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>East Bay residents will be happy to know that East Bay Regional Parks will be open on the Fourth of July. Cliff Rocha, president of Local 2428 of AFSCME, which represents employees of the parks, said workers and managers have reached an agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 11:30 a.m. \u003c/strong>Not sure this picture needs much explanation, but that's the Golden Gate Bridge Toll Plaza -- in case you couldn't immediately identify which toll plaza that was. The big rig got stuck around 8:45 a.m. and was pulled out by 11:30 a.m. It blocked at least three lanes of traffic at one point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102235\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-102235\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/Big-Rig-Stuck07_02_13-e1372790603320.jpg\" alt=\"(Photo courtesy Golden Gate Bridge District via Bay City News)\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Photo courtesy Golden Gate Bridge District via Bay City News)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 9:00 a.m.\u003c/strong> KQED's Matt Williams reports lines at the Jack London Square Ferry Terminal are much longer Tuesday morning than on the first day of the BART strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102232\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/transitoption-640.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-102232\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/transitoption-640.jpg\" alt=\" An Alameda-Contra Costa (AC) Transit worker monitors the capacity of an AC Transit bus on July 2, 2013 in Oakland, California.

I know they’re getting their way, and these guys are here doing the job and picking up the pieces. So, unfortunate situation. It's time to come to the table and get it done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At BART's Millbrae station, commuter Carey Dare complained it was not quite clear where he was supposed to go to catch a bus to SFO. \"My biggest complaint is that SamTrans didn't tell anyone about this stop,\" Dare said. \"I had to find out about it from the SFO stop -- the SFO website.\"\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong> Commuters, if you liked the commute mess yesterday, you're going to love the chaos today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102181\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/casualcarpool-web.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-102181\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/casualcarpool-web-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"More people are carpooling during the BART strike than normal.

Before sunrise this morning, the Bay Bridge metering lights were turned on -- a good 40 minutes earlier than usual -- and early commute traffic immediately backed up on all the approaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our personal view of the experience: One staffer who took the casual carpool from North Berkeley BART was rolling by 6:14 a.m. and exiting on the Fremont Street ramp on the San Francisco side of the bridge by 6:32. That's better than usual. But another staffer drove solo from the Grand Avenue area near downtown Oakland.

Walkouts are increasingly common, but are they worth it? Does going on strike actually help unions get what they want, or does it tend to do more harm than good? KQED's Joshua Johnson discusses that issue with Lee Adler of Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations.

I understand you consider that something of a mixed victory in the end that came with a lot of tough aftermath?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ADLER\u003c/strong>: Yes, there was difficulty in that strike because of the tremendous dislocation of the public. There was a lot of pressure from the mayor and the governor, neither of whom were actually negotiating. But the union was able to maintain a certain standard, especially with regard to certain kinds of pensions. But on the other hand, their president went to jail for a 10-day sentence and dues checkoff was eliminated for more than 18 months, which chopped about 50 percent of the union's income from it.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Now that's partly because in New York the rules are a little different than in BART because they're not allowed ... some of the tactics they used were not allowed under their contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ADLER\u003c/strong>: Yes, exactly. It's all by state law, and California's law is different. It doesn't have the same kind of punitive aspects, and in fact strikes are legal in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Now they are legal here, but are they worth it in the long run? They're a major inconvenience for the public. Is the hassle effective in getting workers what they want, when all else fails?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ADLER\u003c/strong>: I think that the strike activity that you described at the beginning of this interview is reflective of the fact that the unions feel that they need to go on strike irrespective, in certain circumstances, of the outcomes because the attack has been so significant, and the challenge to their leadership and to their membership has been pervasive and constant. You in California, your Legislature cut back on some pensions legislatively last year. You had citywide votes in San Jose and San Diego that have also trimmed police officers' pensions -- of all people, police officers. And at some point unions just draw the line and say, \"I'm not moving backwards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Based on your studies of strikes and labor disputes, what lessons can we learn for how to keep these sparks from just catching fire? How do we resolve this quickly and hopefully avoid future strikes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ADLER\u003c/strong>: One thing that would have to be done would be that the negotiators for the public agencies, or the public employers, would certainly have to move fully away -- dissociate themselves -- from any kind of demonization of public workers at this time in history. Secondly, they'd have to acknowledge the incredible amount of productivity. If you stop to think about this -- 2,300 or so workers are moving 400,000 people daily. That's an extraordinary productivity ratio in terms of things happening. Thirdly, I think there has to be really realistic exchanges, where people have really principled exchanges at the bargaining table and otherwise in order to essentially build trust. Because you look at all the newspaper stories. Every one of them suggests, \"Oh, well, the union walked away,\" or \"Oh, well, management didn't really offer something.\" You know, there are all these factual concerns or disagreements about whether there was a sincere offer -- the management put out an offer -- they doubled their offer. But then when you look at the details of that offer, it's contingent on so many different things that they didn't really double their offer. So this negotiation is punctuated by difficulty with sincerity. And when you have difficulty with sincerity, you have difficulty with trust. And when you have difficulty with trust, you've got a situation like you folks in the Bay Area have today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: And your one best piece of advice to the unions in terms of how to get on with the strike being done and get back to business?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ADLER\u003c/strong>: I think that if they can get what they can in as quick a fashion as possible, that maintains integrity in their workforce and makes the women and men feel as if they have at least righted the ship of BART, or Bay Area transit workers, with regard to pension and health care. And get back to work, sooner rather than later, after they've gained a bit here and a bit there because it's tough to win a long strike like this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Lee Adler teaches at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations. He also provides legal counsel for firefighter unions around New York State. Lee, I appreciate the insights, thanks for talking to us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ADLER\u003c/strong>: You're welcome, sir.

Walkouts are increasingly common, but are they worth it? Does going on strike actually help unions get what they want, or does it tend to do more harm than good? KQED's Joshua Johnson discusses that issue with Lee Adler of Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations. He also provides legal counsel for firefighter unions around New York state. Lee, good morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102179\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/bartstrike070213-web.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-102179\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/bartstrike070213-web-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Picket signs sit in a stack outside of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Lake Merritt station on July 1, 2013 in Oakland, California.

I understand you consider that something of a mixed victory in the end that came with a lot of tough aftermath?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ADLER\u003c/strong>: Yes, there was difficulty in that strike because of the tremendous dislocation of the public. There was a lot of pressure from the mayor and the governor, neither of whom were actually negotiating. But the union was able to maintain a certain standard, especially with regard to certain kinds of pensions. But on the other hand, their president went to jail for a 10-day sentence and dues checkoff was eliminated for more than 18 months, which chopped about 50 percent of the union's income from it.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Now that's partly because in New York the rules are a little different than in BART because they're not allowed ... some of the tactics they used were not allowed under their contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It doesn't have the same kind of punitive aspects, and in fact strikes are legal in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Now they are legal here, but are they worth it in the long run? They're a major inconvenience for the public. Is the hassle effective in getting workers what they want, when all else fails?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ADLER\u003c/strong>: I think that the strike activity that you described at the beginning of this interview is reflective of the fact that the unions feel that they need to go on strike irrespective, in certain circumstances, of the outcomes because the attack has been so significant, and the challenge to their leadership and to their membership has been pervasive and constant. You in California, your Legislature cut back on some pensions legislatively last year. You had citywide votes in San Jose and San Diego that have also trimmed police officers' pensions -- of all people, police officers. And at some point unions just draw the line and say, \"I'm not moving backwards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Based on your studies of strikes and labor disputes, what lessons can we learn for how to keep these sparks from just catching fire? How do we resolve this quickly and hopefully avoid future strikes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ADLER\u003c/strong>: One thing that would have to be done would be that the negotiators for the public agencies, or the public employers, would certainly have to move fully away -- dissociate themselves -- from any kind of demonization of public workers at this time in history. Secondly, they'd have to acknowledge the incredible amount of productivity. If you stop to think about this -- 2,300 or so workers are moving 400,000 people daily. That's an extraordinary productivity ratio in terms of things happening. Thirdly, I think there has to be really realistic exchanges, where people have really principled exchanges at the bargaining table and otherwise in order to essentially build trust. Because you look at all the newspaper stories. Every one of them suggests, \"Oh, well, the union walked away,\" or \"Oh, well, management didn't really offer something.\" You know, there are all these factual concerns or disagreements about whether there was a sincere offer -- the management put out an offer -- they doubled their offer. But then when you look at the details of that offer, it's contingent on so many different things that they didn't really double their offer. So this negotiation is punctuated by difficulty with sincerity. And when you have difficulty with sincerity, you have difficulty with trust. And when you have difficulty with trust, you've got a situation like you folks in the Bay Area have today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: And your one best piece of advice to the unions in terms of how to get on with the strike being done and get back to business?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ADLER\u003c/strong>: I think that if they can get what they can in as quick a fashion as possible, that maintains integrity in their workforce and makes the women and men feel as if they have at least righted the ship of BART, or Bay Area transit workers, with regard to pension and health care. And get back to work, sooner rather than later, after they've gained a bit here and a bit there because it's tough to win a long strike like this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHNSON\u003c/strong>: Lee Adler teaches at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations. He also provides legal counsel for firefighter unions around New York State. Lee, I appreciate the insights, thanks for talking to us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ADLER\u003c/strong>: You're welcome, sir. Best of luck to your community on getting things square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the interview:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F99394874\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
