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.

The union’s membership is set to vote on the proposal Saturday, the VTA said. If approved, the proposal will then go to the VTA’s board for a vote. Union workers can return to their roles before the proposal is approved by the board, if union leadership permits it, Hendler Ross said.
