长岛铁路工会与大都会运输署重启谈判，罢工迫在眉睫
Read, Watch or Listen
Long Island — Negotiators for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and five Long Island Rail Road unions returned to the bargaining table Friday as a potential strike loomed that could begin early Saturday and disrupt roughly 300,000 daily commuters; unions urged a 5% fourth-year contract raise while the MTA offered 3% plus lump-sum payments amid cost pressures. Officials announced contingency measures Friday, including limited peak shuttle bus service from six stations and instructions that trains will reach final destinations before any work stoppage; Gov. Kathy Hochul phoned into negotiations and urged good-faith bargaining, while MTA officials warned higher wage awards could require fare increases up to 8% or service reductions next year.

如果 MTA 坚持其提议，那么机构预算规划者和票务收入预测将受益于避免超出计划的运营赤字和服务削减。
罢工以及由此导致的任何服务缩减，将对通勤者、低收入的铁路员工以及依赖通勤客流的小型企业造成即时的经济和后勤损害。
