A Brief Reprieve, But No End to the Fractures in Public Transport The Long Island Rail Road strike is finally over, following a deal reached between the MTA and LIRR unions.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced on Monday night that the agreement ended the first rail strike in 32 years.
Hochul's statement recognized the contributions of LIRR workers but sidestepped contentious issues surrounding salary increases and healthcare costs.
