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.BART strike: Commute chaos rages on as strike begins with no end in sight - San Jose Mercury News
