All aboard the struggle bus! NJ Transit and the engineers’ union are duking it out, possibly leading to the first rail strike in forever. They’re hanging out in Washington, D.C., trying to work things out before chaos ensues. Hundreds of thousands of riders might be left high and dry, a situation not seen since the 80s.
The tension is real, folks. NJ Transit dropped a bombshell, saying they won’t be shuttling fans to Shakira’s concerts at MetLife Stadium because of the looming strike. The shows are sold out, so this news is hitting harder than a ton of bricks. Negotiations are happening, but time is ticking. Are we about to witness history in the making with the first major rail strike in four decades? Stay tuned, folks, this could get messy.
If the strike goes down, it’s happening at the stroke of midnight on Friday, May 16. NJ Transit is not playing around – service will be disrupted faster than you can say “commuter chaos.” The last strike was back in the 80s, lasting a whole month. Will history repeat itself? Only time will tell. Let’s hope they can sort this mess out before everyone’s daily commute turns into a nightmare.
