NJ Transit has ignored a Presidential Emergency Board recommendation for common sense and modest annual pay increases and better health care coverage. These proposals would cover the next six years.
NJ Transit has also ignored a bipartisan group of Democrats and Republicans across the state’s congressional delegation, which sent a letter urging NJ Transit to seriously consider the board’s recommendations.
Instead, NJ Transit wants to impose a significant increase in health care costs that would wipe out any wage increases for its own employees.
