The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen was part of an 11-member coalition that reached deals with New Jersey Transit in March averting a strike . Eight other unions have ratified their deals, while the two remaining unions planned to vote Saturday.
Please,post the pay and benefits they declined..
Back in the late 1970’s I was inconvenienced when the conductors went on strike. At that time they were paid over 60k per year with generous benefits. I think it was contrail at the time.
This job isn’t rocket science.
