Trump’s threat that Iran’s “whole civilization will die tonight” unless they surrendered will go down in history as one of the most chilling expressions of intent to commit mass murder ever uttered in public by a world leader.

This is not normal, and we cannot simply act like it didn’t happen. What can we do? Shut it down. There can be no business as usual.

💥On May 1st – International Workers Day – people across the country will hold a day of no work, no school and no shopping and attend massive demonstrations. We need to build this action up into a true general strike!

Note these are mainly police officers. It is very difficult to recruit sworn officers, we use OT to make sure we have police coverage and police presence is something our riders want. OT is cheaper than adding more FTEs (and we can't even fill our current police officer vacancies with our compensation pkg).

We have outlined some of the cuts and efficiencies we have made on our website and several public board presentations: https://t.co/dvFDrH5EfJ

We pasted some below:

Labor Savings
-Eliminated 672 vacant positions (251 operating positions) in FY20 saving $32M
-A strategic hiring freeze on 56 positions (FY25 and FY26) with this count increasing each quarter, saving $7.8M annually and impacting all levels, including management
-Renegotiated with unions to reduce near-term retiree healthcare costs
-Executive management salary freeze in FY21
-Negotiated a 0% wage increase in FY22 instead of 2% saving $7-8M annually
-Indefinite deferral of planned staffing increases

Efficiencies
-Run shorter trains saving $27M in energy costs through FY26
-FY20 and FY21 service reductions saving $124M and currently reduced peak-period service
-5% reduction in non-labor budgets across all departments in FY26 saving $5M annually
-Locked in low electricity costs though long-term contracts
-Saved $400M in new rail car acquisition with tight project controls, using in-house engineers, and speeding up delivery
-Parking garage LED lighting installation saving $1M annually in energy costs
-Reduced feeder bus payments saving $3M annually
-Eliminated transfer payment agreements with SFMTA and AC Transit saving $60M through FY26

Reduced Office Space Footprint
-BART purchased its smaller headquarters building to eliminate the expensive long-term lease costs of the larger space, reducing headquarter footprint by 33% saving $13-15M annually or $71M through FY26

Increase Revenue
-Installed new fare gates to reduce fare evasion, generating $10M in new revenue per year
-Inflation-based fare increases accounting for $35M per year and demand-based parking price increases
-Offer new fare products, such as Clipper BayPass, generating $7M per year
-Leasing of BART parking lots generating $6M through FY26
