ANAHEIM, California—Striking drivers picket the Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA) bus depot here July 11. More than 1,100 bus drivers waged a successful strike against OCTA July 7-14. The members of Teamsters Local 952 won gains in wages, pensions, and medical benefits. Strikers said that only two union members crossed the line, and that the mechanics, whose contract will expire later this year, honored the pickets.
