SAN JOSE — The union representing Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority workers ratified a new contract with the agency, two months after a judge ordered them back to work from their historic strike without a new contract. The vote, which took place Tuesday, passed with 689 yes votes and 298 no votes, according to a letter from Amalgamated Transit Union Local 265. The contract will now go to the VTA Board of Directors for approval.
