“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,” the agency said in a statement. “With today’s engineer call-outs at nearly triple the rate of an average weekday, it is clear that this is the result of an illegal job action,” NJ transit said in a statement. Union members were negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement that includes Friday’s observance of Juneteenth as a holiday in New Jersey, but a deal hasn’t been reached, transit officials said. “This is so f–king annoying! I have a flight from Newark in two hours,” a man in Penn Station fumed before running off with two suitcases. Nearly 80 New Jersey transit trains were canceled in what officials called an “illegal job action” - sending commuters scrambling for a way to get their destinations from Penn Station as Father’s Day weekend kicked off.

The transit agency said in a tweet they expect engineers to report to work Saturday, allowing for a regular weekend schedule. New Jersey Transit suspended rail service into and out of New York City on Friday night after members of the locomotive engineers’ union called out sick en masse to protest a lack of holiday pay on Juneteenth.
