OAKLAND, Calif. — The AP reported that Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) officials want to return to the bargaining table because of a provision that officials said was “erroneously” included in a labor contract. The contract, signed in October, settled a dispute between the union and the agency that caused two strikes.

Agency officials told the AP that a family medical leave provision giving its 2,300 union workers up to six weeks of paid time off each year would be too expensive.
