NJ Transit union leaders face scrutiny after being overpaid more than $10,000, with calls for better accountability as the agency prepares for a leadership change in the new year.
NJ Transit on Monday revealed in a letter from Deputy General Manager Patrick McGreal to BLET general chairman Tom Haas obtained by New Jersey 101.5 that Haas and vice chair Donald Melhorn owe the agency $10,000 in unearned pay.
An analysis of NJ Transit notifications by the Asbury Park Press shows that a lack of available crew or engineers was the leading reason given for a cancelled train in August.
