This afternoon, members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) voted 398 to 21 to ratify their contract with NJ TRANSIT. In response, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) commended both parties, saying:

“The labor of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen moves our entire region. This afternoon, BLET members ratified their contract with NJ TRANSIT, affirming a deal that sets workers, their families, hundreds of thousands of commuters, and our state’s economy up for the future. I applaud the efforts of both parties to ensure the operation of our public transportation system and support the well-being of New Jersey families.”
