@srimtaylor Sounds like they're pretty important workers. They should probably get paid.

@srimtaylor It's tough when commutes are disrupted. Hope everyone finds safe alternatives to get where they need to go.

New Jersey Transit engineers represented by the Teamsters are on strike because they haven’t had a raise in 6 years and currently make wages far lower than other railroads in the region. It's time for New Jersey Transit to come back to the bargaining table with the Teamsters Rail Conference and give our members the fair deal they deserve.

Americans are not as divided as it may seem. Our enemies are engaged in covert influence operations to pump money into nonprofits that sow chaos and discord. Thanks to Ways and Means Committee for holding a hearing to expose these destructive operations and identify ways to shut them down.

LIRR Strike Day 2: Hochul Blames Unions & Offers Refreshments Gov. Kathy Hochul is blaming the unions, calling their demands “reckless” and warning they could lead to higher fares (up to 8%) and tax hikes for riders. During her press conference, she awkwardly invited the unions back saying “This is my official invitation… I’ll provide refreshments, whatever you like. Just c’mon back.” She urged both sides to return to bargaining immediately. The strike — the first in over 30 years — has shut down America’s busiest commuter rail line, affecting hundreds of thousands of daily riders. Limited shuttle buses are in place, but chaos is expected for Monday’s commute. State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli estimates the strike could cost New York up to $61 million per day in lost economic activity. This is hitting working families hard. Who’s really to blame for this LIRR strike? (Video: AI)

As New Jersey prepares to host eight World Cup matches, we're asking everyone to plan ahead. Match days will bring heavier traffic and increased demand for transportation throughout the state. Know your route, allow extra travel time, and stay informed before you head out. If you're headed to a match, NJ TRANSIT is the best way to get closest to the stadium. Purchase your rail tickets in advance through the NJ TRANSIT Mobile App before match day.
