NJ Transit Prepares for Possible Strike as Engineers Reject Latest Offer

As a potential strike by NJ Transit engineers looms, the transit authority is warning commuters to be prepared for significant disruptions. NJ Transit officials have unveiled a contingency service plan, advising riders to work from home if the strike occurs. With financial implications at stake, NJ Transit braces for what could be a chaotic situation, as engineers demand substantial pay raises and threaten action that could affect thousands of commuters. The transit agency has also indicated that their contingency plans would only accommodate around 20% of rail riders. Commuters are urged to stay informed and consider alternative arrangements as contract negotiations continue and the deadline approaches.
