SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 26 (Reuters) – In a significant development for the Golden Gate Ferry system, California's largest passenger ferry service, boat captains launched a one-day strike on Friday, halting operations and causing major disruptions for thousands of commuters traversing the San Francisco Bay Area. The labor action was initiated by the 20 ferry pilots employed by the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, who left their posts in protest against what union representatives term as dishonest negotiations by management regarding wages and benefits for transit workers. Operating five ferries that complete 42 crossings daily, the Golden Gate service typically serves around 8,500 passengers traveling between San Francisco and the Marin County locales of Sausalito and Larkspur. Unfortunately, with no alternative personnel to navigate the ferries, the strike leads to a complete suspension of services until Saturday morning, as confirmed by the transportation district. This interruption notably includes the ferry service scheduled for the San Francisco Giants baseball game on Friday night at AT&T Park.
