A tentative agreement has been reached between New Jersey Transit and the union representing its train engineers, potentially bringing an end to a strike that disrupted service for hundreds of thousands of commuters. While specific terms of the deal have not been disclosed, union leaders say it addresses key concerns around wages and working conditions. If ratified, the agreement would mark a resolution to the agency’s first rail strike in over four decades. Commuters and state officials had expressed mounting pressure for a solution, as prolonged disruptions threatened to strain the region’s transit infrastructure and economy.
