SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — A federal jury has sided with fired BART workers who sued the agency claiming they lost their jobs over a COVID vaccine mandate.
There are six of them total in the lawsuit and each will receive more than $1 million.
In total, BART must now pay a combined $7.8 million to all six former employees.
BART is a transit agency that is already between $350 and $400 million in the red, but BART’s board of directors did vote eight to one for the vaccine mandate in 2021.
