Anyone looking to take NJ Transit trains into New York City or around New Jersey on Saturday will have to find another way as the engineers’ union enters its second day of a historic strike over wages.

The workers are striking because of a pay dispute: BLET argues NJ Transit’s wage proposal puts them below their peers at other passenger rail lines in the region, while NJ Transit argues the union’s demands are unreasonably high and would raise prices for commuters.

The New Jersey Transit engineers' strike has disrupted transportation between New Jersey and New York, affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers. The workers are demanding raises, as the last salary increase they received was five years ago.
