Just 48-hours after BART workers went on strike over pay and workplace rules, two workers were struck and killed by an out-of-service train during a track inspection.

On Sunday the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 canceled picket lines for the day to attend a vigil for the deceased workers. The strikers — around 2,000 transit employees — will resume picketing on Monday. Meanwhile federal authorities are investigating the deaths.
