TL;DR

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul pleaded for LIRR unions to restart bargaining as the system’s first strike since 1994 halted service and threatened weekday commutes; negotiations stalled over pay and healthcare premiums, with the MTA planning limited shuttle service and Hochul urging remote work where possible while talks continue. Trump criticized the situation, arguing blame lies elsewhere.
