TL;DR

Five unions representing about half of the Long Island Rail Road workforce went on strike, shutting down North America’s largest commuter rail system after months of stalled contract talks and a prior federal mediation attempt; roughly 250,000 weekday riders face disruption as the MTA offers limited shuttle service and urges telework, while Gov. Hochul pushes for a rapid return to negotiations and warns of possible fare increases.
