A three-day statewide strike of New Jersey Transit workers ended on Sunday after a transit union reached an agreement with NJ Transit. The union, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, called off the strike at 6 p.

The NJ Transit strike is over after the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) approved a deal Sunday, but train service did not immediately resume Monday. The engineers strike has halted trains across New Jersey for four days.

The union, known as BLET, was seeking pay comparable to the wages made by engineers at other nearby railroads, including Long Island Rail Road. NJ Transit, which has long had shaky finances, was trying to avoid blowing a hole in its own budget.
