NJ Transit engineers are striking after failed wage negotiations. This strike is the first since 1983.
On March 15, 2023, NJ Transit engineers went on strike, causing significant disruptions for commuters in New Jersey, as trains were unable to move without engineers. The strike, initiated by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, stemmed from unresolved contract negotiations that had been ongoing for over two years, with key issues including wages and working conditions. Commuters faced long delays and were forced to seek alternative transportation methods, such as buses and ride-sharing services, while NJ Transit attempted to mitigate the situation by offering limited bus services and encouraging remote work where possible. The strike highlighted the critical role of engineers in the transit system and the broader impact of labor disputes on public transportation and daily life.
