		<description><![CDATA[The Transport Workers Union has submitted a letter to the Department of Labor demanding that federal funding for SFMTA projects be suspended, based on the claim that Proposition G illegally requires an arbitrator to prioritize &#8220;the public interest in efficient and reliable transit.&#8221; This is clearly a negotiating tactic, but it could lead the feds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Examiner reports that SFMTA management is negotiating with the TWU250A on how to fix the disciplinary process for operators. As it stands, operators who rack up too many citations in one particular area, such as accidents or drunk driving, are the only ones who are likely to get terminated. However, if an operator gets [...]]]></description>
