Elected BRU representative Manuel Criollo is interviewed at a BRU demonstration at the L.A. County Board of Supervisors regarding the MTA's reasons for refusing to settle the present Los Angeles bus strike, the impact of the strike on riders, the demand of the BRU for an elected MTA Board, and what concerned members of the community can do to force the MTA back to the bargaining table.
Following this interview, bus riders entered the building and demanded to speak with Supervisor Zev Yaroslavky, the intransigent chair of the MTA Board. Yaroslavsky refused to meet with the riders, who then occupied the entrance to the building for more than an hour while chanting demands that Yaroslavsky settle the strike.
Running time: 6:04. Chanting Bus Riders can be heard in the background.
