NJ Transit and an engineers’ union appear to be steaming ahead to the first major rail strike in decades starting early Friday, even as both sides convene in Washington, D.C., where they pledged to continue negotiations.
In a post Monday on X, NJ Transit wrote: "Due to the potential rail service stoppage, NJ TRANSIT will not be operating train or bus service to MetLife Stadium for the Shakira concerts on May 15th and 16th," and referred patrons to the MetLife website for more information.
New Jersey commuters who need to get to New York City have been wearily watching negotiations involving New Jersey Transit and its engineers' union, concerned that rail service could grind to a halt if a strike happens.
New Jersey Transit and its engineers are in Washington Monday to meet with the National Mediation Board as part of an effort to reach a contract deal ahead of Friday's potential strike.
