NJ Transit strike comes to an end with agreement between union and managers

Published:


The New Jersey Transit rail strike will end Monday after the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen and NJ Transit managers reached a tentative agreement on Sunday, the union announced in a statement.

Trains will resume running on their regular schedules Monday, union officials said. 

BLET said the strike, which began at 12:01 a.m. Friday, was a result of pay disputes, as 450 of its members who work for NJ Transit walked off the job. It brought the nation’s third-largest transit system, which services a total of 350,000 riders, to a halt.
