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.

The workers did not like the new work plan. They stopped working. This is the first time in 40 years. The workers said no to the plan last month.

Tom Haas said: "We gave them the plan. They said no and left. There was time 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 them. If they want to meet tomorrow, I will meet them. I think we can find a fix. Do they want to fix it?"

Murphy said: "We want a deal. The deal must be good for workers. It must be good for people in New Jersey."

The news is here. The group talked for a long time. They will start at 4 a.m. on Friday.

NJ Transit has buses and trains. They go to New York City. Now, the trains are not working. People cannot go to New York from New Jersey by train. The Newark airport also has problems.

The bus company said: we will have more buses. The buses will go to train stations near New York. They start on Monday. We will also use other bus companies. They will go from parking lots on weekdays.

But the bus can't take many people. Only a few can go. If you can work from home, please do it.

The trains and buses were not working. This was because of a problem. Shakira concerts on Thursday and Friday in New Jersey were canceled.

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

The people who work on the trains want more money. They want to get paid like other train workers. They want their boss, Kris Kolluri, to give them more money each year.

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

Kolluri and Murphy said the problem is about money. Can they give more money without problems for NJ Transit?

The leaders can stop the strike, but they do not want to. They did it before.

The group at NJ Transit has fewer people now. Some people left to work at other jobs with more money. Before, there were 500 engineers. Now, there are about 450.
