New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says the MTA and LIRR unions have reached a tentative agreement to end a three-day strike. Hochul characterizes the deal as “fair,” and says it is intended to protect riders and taxpayers while also providing raises for workers. The strike involves multiple LIRR unions, with Hochul stating that negotiations with the five unions are part of the agreement to bring service back. While the outlets both reference Hochul’s account of the terms, neither source provides detailed contract language or dates for implementation. The reported agreement marks an end to the work stoppage after it has disrupted LIRR service for three days. The MTA and unions are now positioned to proceed with the next steps required for the agreement to take effect, as described through the governor’s statements.
