New Jersey Transit Worker Files a Lawsuit Against the Agency Alleging Sexual Harassment

An NJ Transit rail conductor has accused an engineer of sexually harassing and assaulting her at work, in the latest lawsuit to allege that the agency fosters a hostile work environment where harassment is allowed to take place.

The woman, who is not being named because of the sexual nature of the allegations, is a 15-year employee at NJ Transit and became a conductor in 2019. She alleges in the lawsuit — which was filed this month in state court in Essex County and names NJ Transit as the sole defendant — that the sexual misconduct began in 2022.

In the presence of co-workers, the engineer she accuses of harassing her “would constantly tell anyone present that [she] was interested in him romantically,” even though she told him repeatedly that she didn’t like his comments and started avoiding him at work, according to the lawsuit.
