US EditionNew Jersey Transit reaches tentative deal with engineers union that could end strike
- On May 16, 2025, New Jersey Transit engineers launched a strike, halting rail service statewide and affecting over 350,000 customers.
- The strike followed union members rejecting a labor agreement and demands for higher wages, citing pay $10 less than regional counterparts and no raises for five years.
- Negotiations resumed Saturday afternoon in Newark with NJ Transit CEO Kris Kolluri and union leaders aiming to reach a fair deal without exceeding the agency's budget.
- Kolluri emphasized the need for a reasonable agreement that remains financially responsible, stressing that this position is firm. Meanwhile, union leaders expressed confidence that reaching a deal is possible if they unite in their efforts.
- The strike's outcome will affect weekday commutes for 100,000 daily riders and could worsen if talks fail, as NJ Transit prepares bus surges and readies rail assets for service restart.
