(A third unit, AFSCME Local 3993, which represent 200 BART supervisors, also says it will walk out.) A strike would shut down transit on Monday and force about 200,000 riders to seek alternate transporation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unions say they made more than $100 million in concessions during 2009 contract talks, and amid an official blackout on details of negotiations are reportedly seeking a 20 percent pay increase over the next three years. They’re also seeking to limit the amount pay for medical benefits (they currently pay a flat $92 a month for family coverage) and for pensions (currently, workers do not contribute to their pension plan). BART has offered an 8 percent pay raise over four years, an increase that would be offset by contributions to benefits and pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the unions’ 72-hour strike notice, BART spokesman Rick Rice said another strike would only delay the decision-making process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are very disappointed and hope they reconsider their options. A strike only stalls and delays the decisions that need to be made while using our riders as pawns.”\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rice also insisted BART is committed to continue negotiations. “BART is willing to stay at the table for as long as it takes to reach an agreement. Even if there isn’t a deal in place by Sunday night, talks can be extended,” he said. BART management earlier disclosed it has not moved from on its main offers on pay, pensions, and benefits for the past month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SEIU Local 1021 President Roxanne Sanchez criticized management for a lack of progress in the negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is unfortunate that we find ourselves in the same situation that we were in 30 days ago, with no real progress made by management to address worker concerns about safety and wage cuts,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“BART management…continue to attack workers in the press when they should have been finding ways to make BART safe and focusing on reaching a fair agreement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier, one union leader said progress had been made on peripheral issues, but other issues, including salaries and benefits, have yet to be resolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regional transportation officials projected in the event of another BART strike, traffic would jump 10 percent over the last shutdown, which started during the Fourth of July weekend when many people were away on vacation. Despite this projection, officials do not plan to offer more alternative buses and trains than they did last time. BART says it will have about 95 charter buses to transport Bay Area commuters should workers strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The KPIX poll released today found that by a 2:1 ratio, respondents feel BART has made the stronger case for its position. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollPrint.aspx?g=d9dd8b40-8e73-4e25-ab10-30c2294a30e2&d=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SurveyUSA poll\u003c/a> of 800 Bay Area adults found that 44 percent of those who said they have been following negotiations felt management had made the better case as opposed to 19 percent who felt the unions’ case is stronger. The Bay Area Council, a business group that estimated that last month’s BART shutdown cost $73 million a day, released a poll of 475 residents of San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa and San Mateo counties that shows 70 percent of all respondents oppose a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO outlines transit \u003ca href=\"http://www.flysfo.com/web/page/orphan/SFOBulletin/index.html\">option\u003c/a>s in event of a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>Unions give 72-hour strike notice.

BART says it will have about 95 charter buses to transport Bay Area commuters should workers strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The KPIX poll released today found that by a 2:1 ratio, respondents feel BART has made the stronger case for its position.

The Bay Area Council, a business group that estimated that last month’s BART shutdown cost $73 million a day, released a poll of 475 residents of San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa and San Mateo counties that shows 70 percent of all respondents oppose a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO outlines transit \u003ca href=\"http://www.flysfo.com/web/page/orphan/SFOBulletin/index.html\">option\u003c/a>s in event of a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>Unions give 72-hour strike notice.

It sounds like a big part of management strategy is public relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cabanatuan\u003c/strong>: I think certainly some of it has to do with public relations; it is a public system after all.

They have the ability to shut down the transit system. That is a very powerful thing. They say they don’t want to do it. The thing to remember is they don’t get paid when they’re on strike, so I’m sure there are many of them who don’t want to do it. I think there are others who see the potential long-term benefit of it, but the longer a strike goes on, the harder it is on the people who are on strike, as well as the commuters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Last time around public officials like Oakland Mayor Jean Quan and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee stayed largely on the sidelines. Governor Brown didn’t play a very prominent role either. Any sense there’s political momentum building to end this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cabanatuan\u003c/strong>: I think there is political pressure out there. I think a lot of people are sort of taking a wait and see approach, hoping that the negotiations that are going on are successful. I think the governor has been more involved than people think. A lot of people think that he sort of punted and said, ‘You know, I’m not going to order a cooling off period.’ But the governor basically had the Labor Department get involved and that’s what spurred the contract expansion and the current negations. They brought in two new mediators and struck an agreement on how they were going to bargain, and the schedule for bargaining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: And what about that schedule? Is Aug. 4 still the critical date?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cabanatuan\u003c/strong>: Since they haven’t been talking publicly about what’s going on at the table they could theoretically come out and announce that they’ve reached a tentative settlement any day, but the indication I’m getting is that they’re not there yet.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It tells the story of 22-year-old Oscar Grant, who was unarmed when BART police officer Johannes Mehserle shot him on the Fruitvale train platform early New Year’s Day 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today I visited Oakland’s Youth Uprising Community Center. There I met Brandon Robbins and Dimitrius McWilliams. The two young men didn’t know Oscar Grant, but they say they identify with him in many ways. Robbins says he took BART to San Francisco from Fruitvale on New Year’s Eve and heard about the shooting the following day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brandon Robbins:\u003c/strong> I saw it online and when I saw it online the first thing I thought was this is just visual evidence of something that happens, I don’t want to say quite often, but it happens. It’s happened in history plenty of times. It’s just the first time it’s actually on camera, flat out on camera. I didn’t realize the power of social media in this decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: After you learned about what happened, did it change the way you felt when you rode BART? Did it change the way you felt in society?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: No, because for me since I was a kid, my parents, we really don’t like the police and there’s reasons. For me it’s always been I try to stay far away from the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: What about you Dimitrius? Did your outlook change at all after the Oscar Grant killing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dimitrius McWilliams\u003c/strong>: My outlook on BART police changed in that I’m more cautious and it kinds of makes me think that could have been me if I was him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The movie comes out tomorrow. You’ve seen the trailers, but you haven’t seen the film, neither one of you. What are you hoping this movie shows?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: I would hope and think they would go into more of the case, the facts about the case. It’s similar to the Trayvon Martin case, at this point it’s become much bigger than Oscar Grant. It’s become a civilians v. the police type thing, so I’m hoping that they actually in a way celebrate him, but at the same time make it very clear this is an issue and this is an issue that won’t be tolerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: And how about you Dimitrius?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McWilliams:\u003c/strong> I feel every time I see the trailer I get kind of happy, because it’s starting to show you can do anything, make a movie about it and bring it to everybody’s attention and they can have a conversation about it and have the ability to speak about how they feel. Also, when the movie comes out I hope it shows things aren’t always what it seems. You can have one side of the story and the other side of the story, but this movie, like what Brandon was saying, I hope it also does show the actual inside, in-depth details, not too in-depth, but in-depth details, so people can actually understand and not just say, \"Mehserle, blah, blah, blah, he’s racist, he’s racist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Of course, the backdrop is your town Oakland, the place you live. What are you hoping for Oakland?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McWilliams:\u003c/strong> I want to see Oakland join and stop all the fighting, and everybody should all at least care for one another, start caring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Do you think a movie has that kind of power?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: Yeah, it definitely can. They say video games have that kind of power, so I think a movie can. Because I know plenty of people who were like, “Oh, Mehserle is a cold-blooded killer,” but then they’ll go outside and do around the same thing. They’ll shoot somebody or they’ll say, “I should have shot him.” We shall see, we shall see if the movie has as much power. But, I’m the type of person, I can watch ‘Lion King’ and get something from it. I think this is an opportunity. We can pivot things, definitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Brandon, Demetrius, thank you so much. Johannes Mehserle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the case.

The film won the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR has an \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/07/11/201139403/-fruitvale-station-stars-take-on-oakland-shooting\">article\u003c/a> about how the stars of the film -- Michael B. Jordan, who plays Oscar Grant, and Octavia Spencer, who plays his mother -- felt about what is was like to act in the movie based on a true story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED's Jon Brooks\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/arts/movies/article.jsp?essid=123209\"> reviewed\u003c/a> the movie, observing: \"'Fruitvale Station' certainly does humanize Grant, in a way that turns someone who has existed as a mere headline for many and a symbol for many more, into a person with hopes, dreams, and flaws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fruitvale Station\" is the first feature for writer/director and Oakland native Ryan Coogler. In an \u003ca href=\"http://www.7x7.com/arts-culture/fruitvale-station-oscar-grant-san-francisco\"> interview\u003c/a>, Coogler stated, \"It was my goal that this film could be shared with people who would never come in contact with somebody like Oscar Grant. We focused on the human relationships. Everybody knows what it's like to have a mom, everybody knows how it is to have somebody they love, a lot of people know what it's like to have a daughter and a lot people know what it's like to be 22 years old.\"\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In advance of the film opening tonight, KQED reporter Stephanie Martin spoke with two young Oakland residents on Thursday about the movie and their hopes for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It tells the story of 22-year-old Oscar Grant, who was unarmed when BART police officer Johannes Mehserle shot him on the Fruitvale train platform early New Year’s Day 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today I visited Oakland’s Youth Uprising Community Center. There I met Brandon Robbins and Dimitrius McWilliams. The two young men didn’t know Oscar Grant, but they say they identify with him in many ways. Robbins says he took BART to San Francisco from Fruitvale on New Year’s Eve and heard about the shooting the following day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brandon Robbins:\u003c/strong> I saw it online and when I saw it online the first thing I thought was this is just visual evidence of something that happens, I don’t want to say quite often, but it happens. It’s happened in history plenty of times. It’s just the first time it’s actually on camera, flat out on camera. I didn’t realize the power of social media in this decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: After you learned about what happened, did it change the way you felt when you rode BART? Did it change the way you felt in society?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: No, because for me since I was a kid, my parents, we really don’t like the police and there’s reasons. For me it’s always been I try to stay far away from the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: What about you Dimitrius? Did your outlook change at all after the Oscar Grant killing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dimitrius McWilliams\u003c/strong>: My outlook on BART police changed in that I’m more cautious and it kinds of makes me think that could have been me if I was him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The movie comes out tomorrow. You’ve seen the trailers, but you haven’t seen the film, neither one of you. What are you hoping this movie shows?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: I would hope and think they would go into more of the case, the facts about the case. It’s similar to the Trayvon Martin case, at this point it’s become much bigger than Oscar Grant. It’s become a civilians v. the police type thing, so I’m hoping that they actually in a way celebrate him, but at the same time make it very clear this is an issue and this is an issue that won’t be tolerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: And how about you Dimitrius?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McWilliams:\u003c/strong> I feel every time I see the trailer I get kind of happy, because it’s starting to show you can do anything, make a movie about it and bring it to everybody’s attention and they can have a conversation about it and have the ability to speak about how they feel. Also, when the movie comes out I hope it shows things aren’t always what it seems. You can have one side of the story and the other side of the story, but this movie, like what Brandon was saying, I hope it also does show the actual inside, in-depth details, not too in-depth, but in-depth details, so people can actually understand and not just say, \"Mehserle, blah, blah, blah, he’s racist, he’s racist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Of course, the backdrop is your town Oakland, the place you live. What are you hoping for Oakland?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McWilliams:\u003c/strong> I want to see Oakland join and stop all the fighting, and everybody should all at least care for one another, start caring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Do you think a movie has that kind of power?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: Yeah, it definitely can. They say video games have that kind of power, so I think a movie can. Because I know plenty of people who were like, “Oh, Mehserle is a cold-blooded killer,” but then they’ll go outside and do around the same thing. They’ll shoot somebody or they’ll say, “I should have shot him.” We shall see, we shall see if the movie has as much power. But, I’m the type of person, I can watch ‘Lion King’ and get something from it. I think this is an opportunity. We can pivot things, definitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Brandon, Demetrius, thank you so much. Johannes Mehserle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the case. This has been Stephanie Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/CxUG-FjefDk\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
