US EditionNew Jersey rail strike could cause nightmare for commuters
- Engineers at New Jersey Transit plan to strike one minute after midnight Friday, threatening to halt commuter rail service in the New York metro area.
- The strike follows failed wage negotiations where 87% of the union's 500 members rejected a tentative deal, while seeking raises of 18% to 23%.
- The strike risks disrupting travel for about 100,000 daily commuters and fans attending concerts by Shakira and Beyoncé near MetLife Stadium.
- Union chair Thomas Haas warned that the window to resolve the issue before a work stoppage is rapidly closing, while NJ Transit CEO Kris Kolluri noted there are just over a day remaining before a strike could begin.
- If the strike occurs, it would be New Jersey Transit's first transit strike in over 40 years, likely forcing commuters onto crowded roads with limited bus capacity while negotiations remain unresolved.
