New Jersey Transit reaches tentative deal with engineers union that could end strike

  • On Sunday, New Jersey Transit and the train engineers' union came to a tentative agreement, bringing an end to the three-day strike that disrupted service in New Jersey and the New York City area.
  • The strike began Friday due to stalled wage increase negotiations, with both sides blaming each other after last-minute talks broke down Thursday.
  • The strike disrupted service for approximately 100,000 daily passengers, interrupting train connections to Newark Airport and crossings over the Hudson River, which compelled commuters to find alternative travel options.
  • Union chairman Tom Haas said the deal boosts hourly pay beyond the earlier rejected proposal while avoiding major budget issues or fare increases.
  • The agreement will be voted on by union members and the New Jersey Transit board, with service expected to resume Tuesday after infrastructure inspection.
