New Jersey Transit canceled trains on several rail lines Friday, accusing the locomotive engineers' union of staging an illegal job action under the guise of the Juneteenth holiday.
"NJ Transit became aware of a rumor late in the day yesterday that the locomotive engineers' union, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen , could potentially initiate an illegal job action today," the spokesperson said."With today's engineer call outs at nearly triple the rate of an average weekday, it is clear that this is the result of an illegal job action.
New Jersey celebrates Juneteenth as a state holiday on the third Friday of June, instead of on June 19, to preserve a three-day weekend. NJ Transit unions will get holiday pay for working Friday, but the BLE&T doesn't have a contract yet and will not be getting holiday pay. The BLE&T is the only rail union of the 15 unions at NJ Transit that has not signed the new collective bargaining agreement, which would have included Juneteenth as a holiday.
