@nbcnews: Members of the railroad engineers union for New Jersey Transit are on strike, crippling a system that around 350,000 people rely on, officials said.
I don’t get why paying them is so difficult. Greed is a disease.

No pay increase for 7 years. No contract either. They get paid the lowest of the engineers. Amtrak gets more. Nj transit execs who worked from home got pay increases twice

Unions workers will never be satisfied. You give them $100 an hour this time, their next contract they will want $200/hour and the next one $300. Never underestimate the greed of unions and union bosses.

NJ transit has raised fares in recent years with no upgrades to the trains, service, or workers - the greed is insane and I hope these engineers get everything they demand 🔥

If they can cripple the state’s transit by walking out, they should be paid the value they are. If they’re that important, pay them like they’re that important.

Pay these guys what they are asking because being a railroader is a difficult and stressful job and being away from their families from for extended periods of time on weekends and holidays is even more stressful

They deserve to earn a fairer wage in this INCREDIBLY INCREASINGLY EXPENSIVE tri state area. I’m service industry and I am heartbroken for those who are affected by the strike but it has to happen for the betterment of everyone.
