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

People are not working because they did not agree on Thursday. This is the first time in 40 years. People said no to a deal last month.

Tom Haas said: "We gave it to them. They said no. They left."

Kris said: "We are talking later."

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

Murphy said: "It is good to have a deal. The deal must be good for workers. It must be good for people in New Jersey."

The news is here. The workers may stop work 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 people from going to New York and Newark airport.

The bus company said: We will have more buses. But the buses will not have much space. The buses will go to the train stations near New York. The buses start on Monday. We will also get buses from other companies. These buses will go from the park and ride places on weekdays.

But the bus can't take many people. Only a few people can use the bus. So, if there is no train, please work from home if you can.

The train and bus are not working. This is because of a problem. Shakira will sing in New Jersey on Thursday and Friday. You cannot take the train or bus to the show.

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

The talks are hard because of money. The workers want more money. They want to get paid like other train workers. The boss, Kris Kolluri, can say yes to this.

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 both sides agree? If they agree, will other groups want more money too? This could be hard for NJ Transit.

The leaders can stop the strike. But they do not want to. They did this before in 2022.

The group at NJ Transit has fewer members now. Many people leave for new jobs with more money. Now there are about 450 engineers. Before, there were 500.
