NJ Transit locomotive engineers and other rail employees represented by the same union voted in favor of a strike.
Thursday to strike, an action that union officials assured riders wouldn’t happen until federal mediation and negotiation requirements are exhausted.
Roughly 81% of the 494 members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen returned ballots, and of those, almost all were in favor of a future strike against NJ Transit if negotiations fail to produce a new contract for its members, BLE&T officials said. Of 399 ballots returned, 397 were cast for strike authorization and two were ruled invalid.
