Hey there! Have you ever wondered what happens when train engineers stop working? ๐โ Well, that’s exactly what’s happening in New Jersey right now!
The people who drive the trains, called engineers, have decided to go on strike. A strike is when workers stop working to ask for better conditions or pay.
This means that many commuter trains aren’t running. Commuters are people who travel to work or school every day, and now they have to find other ways to get around. Imagine if your daily ride to school suddenly wasn’t available! ๐ฎ
Local news reports say that hundreds of thousands of people are affected. They’re trying to find buses, cars, or other ways to travel.
It’s a big deal because trains are a major way for people to get around in New Jersey. We hope that the engineers and the train company can reach an agreement soon so everyone can get back on track! ๐๐
