YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNew Jersey Transit locomotive engineers started striking early Friday, triggering a shutdown of the agency’s rail service and disrupting travel for thousands of commuters.
The walk-out marks the first railroad strike in more than 40 years for the transit agency. The move will force riders to find other modes of travel into New York City or to work remotely, wreaking havoc in the biggest US metropolitan area.
After years of negotiations, NJ Transit, which operates more than 925,000 weekday trips across its rail, bus and light-rail platforms, and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen failed to agree on a new contract.
“After 15-hours of non-stop contract talks today, no agreement on a wage increase was reached,” the union said in a statement late Thursday.
The union’s National President Mark Wallace added that the National Mediation Board has called for a meeting on Sunday.
