Third Day of LIRR Strike Keeps NYC Commuters in Limbo as Talks Resume
TL;DR
After a 3,500-worker strike shut down the Long Island Rail Road, negotiators for the MTA and five unions returned to bargaining Monday. Gov. Hochul urged remote work and praised a smoother-than-expected morning commute thanks to emergency transit plans, but there was no immediate progress on wage increases. The MTA and unions remain at an impasse, with contingency measures—such as free shuttles and extra subway service—and congestion-pricing debates in play as talks continue.
