NJ Transit strike comes to an end with agreement between union and managers

The New Jersey Transit rail strike will end Monday after the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen and NJ Transit managers reached a tentative agreement on Sunday, the union announced in a statement.

Trains will resume running on their regular schedules Monday, union officials said. 

BLET said the strike, which began at 12:01 a.m. Friday, was a result of pay disputes, as 450 of its members who work for NJ Transit walked off the job. It brought the nation’s third-largest transit system, which services a total of 350,000 riders, to a halt.
