BART TRANSIT EXECS LIVE THE GOOD LIFE WHILE COMPLAINING ABOUT UNION WORKERS


Thanks to an extraordinarily generous vacation policy, a select group of BART's white-collar employees have stockpiled a combined seven decades' worth of unused time off -- literally like money in a bank that can be cashed in for fat retirement windfalls.
The costly perk isn't getting much scrutiny as commuters sweat a potential strike and management and blue-collar unions slug it out at the bargaining table. That's because this little-known benefit isn't available to the vast majority of BART workers who are threatening to cripple the Bay Area's commute over their pay and benefits. It's reserved for BART's top-level employees like former general manager Dorothy Dugger.
