SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco transit agency said Monday it has reached a tentative agreement on a new contract with its union, whose workers took part in a sickout that stalled the city’s famed cable cars and disrupted other services.
Municipal Transportation Agency director Ed Reiskin told board members a deal was reached with Transport Workers Union Local 250 on Thursday. Union officials say they will present a contract to members during a special meeting Monday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The tentative agreement comes about four weeks after drivers called in sick after overwhelmingly rejecting a contract they said would have required them to pay more for their pension. The sickout lasted for three days.
