Booker Statement on NJ TRANSIT Strike

Newark, N.J. –Today, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) issued the following statement:
“The labor of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen moves our entire region. Throughout negotiations with NJ TRANSIT, their members have been clear about their concerns. It’s incumbent upon both parties to continue negotiating in good faith to reach an agreement as soon as possible that honors the work of BLET members, restarts and maintains NJ TRANSIT’s operational capacity, and effectively serves the hundreds of thousands of New Jersey families that rely on NJ TRANSIT and lift up our economy every day.”
