NJ Transit is preparing for a possible rail workers strike by urging workers to work from home to mitigate disruptions. CEO Kris Kolluri emphasized that if the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen strikes, the responsibility will be theirs. The agency's contingency plan includes a temporary bus service for essential workers, but it will only accommodate about 20% of daily train commuters. The plan is expected to cost $4 million per day, and negotiations with the union continue amid challenges posed by a potential recession and rejected contract offers.
The contingency plan will cost $4 million daily, he added. "We may be facing a recession... This is not the time to take an agency which is finally standing up on its feet and take a two-by-four to it."
