💨 Abstract

New Jersey Transit train engineers have rejected a proposed labor agreement, potentially leading to a strike or lockout starting May 15. The union, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, cited lack of wage increases since 2019 and high inflation during the pandemic. NJ Transit's management expressed disappointment and commitment to renegotiation. The labor dispute has persisted since 2019 when the engineers' contract expired.
