Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District ferry captains Thursday announced a one-day strike planned for Friday that will shut down the agency’s ferry service for the day.
The strike by ferry captains with the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association comes during a contract dispute between the bridge district and a coalition of labor unions that already led to a one-day strike by machinists on Sept. 16.
