2nd Union Rejects Agreement With NJ Transit

TRENTON (AP) —

Members of a second rail union on Saturday rejected a tentative agreement with NJ Transit that averted a March 13 strike.

UTU Local 60, which represents conductors, joined the New Jersey Transit Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, which announced its decision Friday not to ratify a new contract with the nation’s third-largest railroad.
