금요일에 뉴저지 트랜싯 기사들이 파업을 해서 뉴저지와 뉴욕에 사는 많은 사람들이 회사에 가거나 집에 가기 위해 다른 방법을 찾아야 했습니다.
목요일 협상에서 합의를 못 해서 파업이 시작됐어요. 이 파업은 40년 만에 처음 있는 대중교통 파업이고, 한 달 전에 노동자들이 회사와 합의를 안 한 결과예요.
Tom Haas, the leader of the train drivers' union, said, "We gave them our final offer, but they said no and left. There were only two hours left on the clock."
뉴저지 트랜싯의 사장인 크리스 콜루리는 이번 일을 "대화가 멈춘 것"이라고 말했습니다.
그는 목요일 늦게 필 머피 뉴저지 주지사와 함께 기자회견에서 "가능하면 빨리 이 이야기를 다시 시작하고 싶습니다."라고 말했습니다. "오늘 밤에 만날 수 있다면 오늘 밤에 다시 만날 것이고, 내일 아침에 만나고 싶다면 내일 아침에 다시 만날 것입니다. 왜냐하면 이 문제는 빨리 해결할 수 있다고 생각하기 때문입니다. 중요한 것은 그들이 문제를 풀고 싶어하는 마음이 있는지 입니다."
Murphy said, "It's important to be fair to our workers and find an agreement that people in New Jersey can afford."
The union said this announcement is after 15 hours of talking about the contract, and they plan to protest on Friday at 4 AM.
뉴저지 트랜싯은 미국에서 세 번째로 큰 대중교통 회사입니다. 버스와 기차를 운영하며, 뉴욕시를 포함해서 평일에 약 100만 명이 이용합니다. 이번 파업 때문에 뉴욕 펜 역과 뉴저지 북부를 잇는 뉴저지 트랜싯 기차 운행이 멈춥니다. 최근에 문제가 많았던 뉴어크 공항도 영향을 받을 것입니다.
The company said they will add more buses because of their emergency plan. But the new buses will only help a little bit near the train station where the New York buses already go. Also, the buses won't start running until Monday. They will also have private bus companies help people get to work from parking lots during the week.
But the company said the bus can only carry about 20% of the train users. So, if there is a strike, they suggest that people who can work from home should do that.
The threat of a strike has already caused problems for travel. Because things are uncertain, public transport has canceled trains and buses for Thursday and Friday to the Shakira concert at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Both sides met in Washington on Monday with a mediator to talk about solving the problem. The mediator was also there during the talks on Thursday. Colluuri said the mediator suggested they meet again on Sunday morning to continue the talks.
The main issue is raising the pay of train drivers. They want to earn as much as drivers at other train companies in the area. The union says their members earn about $113,000 a year. They say they can agree if the company boss, Chris Koluri, agrees to pay them $170,000 a year on average.
하지만 뉴저지 트랜짓 회사는 노조의 말과 다르다고 했습니다. 기관사들은 보통 1년에 135,000달러를 벌고, 많이 버는 사람들은 200,000달러 넘게 번다고 말했습니다.
콜루리와 머피 주지사는 목요일 밤에 "문제는 돈을 얼마나 더 줄 수 있느냐가 아니에요. 돈을 더 주면 다른 노조들도 똑같이 요구할 수 있어서 뉴저지 트랜짓이 힘들어질 수 있어요."라고 말했습니다.
The government can stop strikes and make workers agree, like they did in the 2022 train strike. But this time, they probably won't do that.
The union said they have fewer workers because more members are leaving for other train companies that pay better in New Jersey. A few months ago, New Jersey Transit had 500 drivers, but now they have about 450.
