New Jersey Transit trains start rolling again today following an end to the engineers’ strike. Governor Phil Murphy announced over the weekend that an agreement had been reached between NJ Transit and the engineers following a dispute over wages and working conditions.
NJ Transit crews spent yesterday on track and safety inspections. Engineers must still ratify the new agreement but Governor Murphy says he has a high degree of confidence that the engineers will find the contract acceptable. The new contract features a pay raise, among other benefits.
