LIRR strike shuts down nation's busiest commuter train line, union says 'we're far apart' - Gothamist
Overview
Five unions representing roughly half of Long Island Rail Road workers walked away from contract talks and began a strike that halted service, the first LIRR work stoppage since 1994. The shutdown closed the nation’s busiest commuter rail line and forced commuters to rely on alternative transit options. The simultaneous UAW stoppage at American Axle highlights how labor actions in transport and manufacturing are coinciding, increasing the potential for broader disruptions to commuting and supply chains.
