NJ.com reports that there could be a strike on New Jersey Transit on March 14 if no agreement is reached. If no deal is reached by that date which ends a federally mandated cooling off period, there could be a strike, lockout, or congress can end the dispute. NJ Transit employees have worked for 5 years without a contract so I can understand their frustration. I just hope there will be a fair settlement without a strike. There was an NJ Transit strike in 1983 that lasted 34 days.
I always believe in taking life one day at a time and not worry until a strike actually happens. There are no classed at NJIT during the week of March 14, so I could take vacation time. I think the alternative for me would be to take the PATH to Newark. Since I am a reverse commuter, the crowding would be bad, but not impossible. Traffic in northern New Jersey is bad enough, it would be horrific if there were a strike.
Let’s hope for the best.
