Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority workers have rejected the latest contract offer from the agency, as a strike that has stopped bus and light rail service throughout the South Bay enters its third week.

Amalgamated Transportation Union Local 265 announced Monday afternoon that 83% of the over 1,100 members who cast ballots voted to rejected the deal, in a vote held at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds.

"This is in part due to VTA's aggressive bargaining.

Had they not done that we might have had a different outcome," union president Raj Singh said.
