NJT TEAMSTERS LAUNCH HISTORIC STRIKE



450 locomotive engineers at New Jersey Transit (NJT) are on strike at the railroad for the first time since 1983. The railroaders are represented by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) of the Teamsters Rail Conference.



Management refuses to offer a contract that pays BLET members the industry standard. NJT locomotive engineers have gone without a raise since their contract became amendable in 2019.



Our members at NJT only want to be paid the same as engineers who work for other commuter railroads that share the same train platforms. NJT can afford it.
