BLET, PATH reach tentative agreement

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) has reached a tentative labor agreement with the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH). 

The agreement governs rates of pay, benefits and work rules for 175 members who help transport more than 82 million rail passengers to and from the New Jersey and New York areas each year, union officials announced yesterday. 

Ratification ballots have been mailed to active BLET members employed by PATH, and are due March 13.
