The trains in New Jersey are not working today. Many people cannot go to work in New Jersey and New York. They must find another way or stay home.

People stopped working today. They did not agree on Thursday. This is the first time in 40 years. It is one month after people said no to a deal.

Tom Haas said: "We gave them the plan. They said no and left. There were two hours left."

Kris Kolluri from NJ Transit said: "We are talking later."

He said, "I want to talk again soon. If they want to meet today, I will meet. If they want to meet tomorrow, I will meet. I think we can find a way. Do they want to find a way?"

Murphy said: "We want a deal. It must be good for workers. And it must be good for New Jersey."

The news is here. The talks took 15 hours. The workers may stop working on Friday at 4 a.m.

NJ Transit has buses and trains. They go to New York City. Now, the trains are not working. This stops many people from going to New York and other places.

The bus company said: We have more buses. They go to train stations in New York. The buses start on Monday. They will help people go to work.

But the bus can take only a few people. If there is no train, work at home if you can.

The trains and buses were not working. This was because of a problem. Shakira was going to sing in New Jersey on Thursday and Friday. But the trains and buses to the stadium were stopped.

They met on Monday in Washington. They talked about it. They will meet again on Sunday.

The union and the company talk about money. The union wants more money for its workers. The boss, Kris Kolluri, needs to say yes.

NJ Transit says the engineers make $135,000 each year. Some make more than $200,000.

Kolluri and Murphy said on Thursday that the problem is not the money. The problem is if other groups ask for more money too. This may be too hard for NJ Transit.

The government can stop the strike, but they do not want to. They did this before in 2022.

The group at NJ Transit has fewer people now. Many people leave to work at other places for more money. Now there are about 450 people, but before there were 500.
