Union officials said they’re seeking a little under 5%. A union fact sheet said NJ Transit is offering a 21% increase over seven and a half years that comes to about 2.8% a year. Factoring in 4% inflation, that represents a net pay cut for years 2020 through 2023, the union says.

The union that represents the state’s passenger-train drivers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, said it called off the strike at about 6 p.m., and NJ Transit said its trains would begin running a full schedule again on Tuesday morning.
