Rail workers in New York reach tentative agreement after 3-day strike
New York, NY – On Monday, May 18, around 3500 Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) workers from five unions concluded a three-day strike. During the strike, rail workers shut down the busiest commuter train service in the United States, which transports between 250,000 and 300,000 passengers daily. New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli estimated that the strike cost the region $61 million per day.

The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) strike entered its third day, leaving New York City commuters scrambling to find alternative ways to reach work. Thousands of union workers returned to picket lines Monday, demanding pay raises that keep pace with inflation. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) deployed approximately 250 shuttle buses with around 13,000 seats, though only a small fraction of these were used during the morning rush. Negotiations between the unions and MTA saw little progress despite multiple sessions, with both sides trading proposals but remaining separated by less than two percentage points on the final year of a four-year contract. A major sticking point is the MTA's push for increased healthcare contributions for new hires, while unions emphasize that wages should rise to match inflation. Commuters have adapted by working from home, driving, or using subways and buses, though some faced significant inconveniences. Even if a deal were reached, service would take at least a day to resume fully due to necessary inspections and crew preparation. The strike is expected to have ripple effects on subway congestion and Long Island traffic, impacting the region until normal LIRR service is restored.

I think the #LIRR strike was basically like undoing #CongestionPricing. My kids' bus has returned to taking 1.5 hours each way rather than 45-60mins.
Now that the strike is over, let's hope traffic returns to normal. It would be a great time to raise the congestion pricing toll to its originally planned level, though. #NYC #MTA #NYS
