Trying to commute in and around the Garden State? You might need to explore alternative options.

As a result of an unprecedented amount of employees calling out, NJ TRANSIT is suspending rail service Friday night.

According to Director of Media Relations Jim Smith, the authority experienced sick-day callouts tripling the average on Friday. Smith added it’s “clear that this is the result of an illegal job action.”

“NJ TRANSIT is disappointed that the union would perpetrate such an act on the more than 100,000 commuters who depend on NJ TRANSIT rail service every day,” Smith added.

A source close to the matter told PIX11 News the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen is the only union out of 15 unions that has refused to sign a collective bargaining agreement. The agreement would have granted Juneteenth as a holiday, in addition to other terms, but union leadership did not accept.

“We … disappointed that the BLE&T would exploit the significance of the Juneteenth holiday for their own selfish purposes,” the NJ TRANSIT source told PIX11 News.

To provide customers alternate travel options, NJ TRANSIT is accepting rail tickets on NJ TRANSIT and Private Carrier buses, all three NJ TRANSIT light rail lines, PATH from 33rd Street in New York, Hoboken and Newark Penn and NY Waterway ferries.

This is crazy. Something about the contract not having holiday pay for Junetenth, that's what I gathered from the situation from the different sources across the internet. So the engineers called out to protest that.
