Secret NY rail deal ends three-day strike as activists push for transparency
TL;DR
New York’s three-day LIRR strike ended with Governor Hochul announcing a tentative agreement to resume service, but none of the contract terms have been released. The International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees (IWA-RFC) denounces the deal as negotiated behind closed doors by the MTA, the five unions, and Albany, and urges full public disclosure and the formation of independent rank-and-file committees to read, discuss, and potentially reject or renegotiate the terms to prevent concessions and restart the strike if needed.
