BART General Manager Grace Crunican(over $300k in yearly salary and hails from Oregon to our shame) late Sunday said the agency presented its "last, best and final offer," a legal term that allows BART to declare an impasse or impose a contract if it chooses to.
Crunican said the agency upped its four-year offer for pay increases from 10.25 percent a week ago to 12 percent. She gave the union two weeks to vote on the final proposal, though union leaders did not sound optimistic it would be approved

Grace Crunican claims that BART workers have the best salary/benefits package for transit workers in the USA. Where have we heard that before?
The average line-level BART worker made $76,500 in gross pay last year, tops among California transit agencies. Workers do not contribute toward their pensions and pay $92 monthly for health care, regardless of how many dependents they have. (a hell of a lot better than Trimet although Trimet insists they have the best pay/benefits in the USA)
