It’s mind-boggling that BART directors plan to ratify on Thursday a new labor agreement that locks in excessive employee benefits for another three years at the same time the district faces horrendous budget shortfalls.

The deal, which would last through June 30, 2024, would continue the sweetheart terms of a contract reached in 2013 after a strike shut down the system. Those terms were renewed with a contract extension in 2016. Now, with that extension due to expire next year, the district and its union workers have agreed to another.
