MTA Prepares Contingency Plans Amid Looming LIRR Strike
The MTA has released a contingency plan for nearly 300,000 LIRR riders in case of a strike by unions representing over 3,700 workers, which could occur as soon as September 18. The plan includes limited bus services and remote work recommendations, as negotiations continue amid union demands for higher pay and the MTA's assertions of already high wages. The situation remains uncertain, with potential impacts on commuters and local communities.
