350,000 daily commuters will be affected.
Transcript
00:00One of the country's largest mass transit systems has come to a screeching halt.
00:04450 members of New Jersey Transit have gone on strike, which could affect as many as 350,000 commuters a day.
00:12NJ Transit workers have hit the picket lines over a pay dispute.
00:16The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, the union representing the striking workers,
00:20says members of NJ Transit are the lowest paid locomotive engineers of any major passenger railroads in the U.S.
00:26According to the union, strikers have gone without a raise for six years and have been seeking a new contract since October 2019.
00:33New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy says that while both sides want a fair deal,
00:36the state is unwilling to make one that would give these 450 workers a better deal than other transit workers.
00:42That'll do it for your Daily Briefing. From New York City, I'm Kelsey Barbario with The Street.
