Re: NJ Transit engineers go on strike @ 12:01 am 5/16/25

Interesting. I thought that the LIRR/MNR engineers got equal pay. AFAIK It was the only union to get paid the same. All other MNR crafts got less than the LIRR crafts. That all started back in the late 60s when then Gov Rockefeller with his new MTA went on a mission to make the LIRR the "best commuter RR in the country". Back then, the LIRR unions got substantial raises to encourage membership to work for that goal.
Didn't quite work out that way.
