The tentative agreement reached on Dec. 21 resolved a dispute over a paid family medical leave provision that management said had been inserted by mistake in a previous tentative agreement but leaders of the two unions said was intended by all parties to be part of the pact.
The new agreement doesn’t include paid family medical leave but does expand paid time off for bereavement leave to include deaths of grandchildren or stepparents of a spouse or domestic partner.
The tentative pact also calls for the construction of break rooms in the Daly City, Millbrae and West Oakland stations.
The agreement also allows qualifying employees more flexibility in how they pay for the costs of their family medical leave.
