The railroad has long provided commuters relief from its rush-hour clogged highways.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Most of its riders live outside New York City in two counties populated by nearly 3\u00a0 million people.<\/p>\n<p>The railroad closed down and workers went on strike at 12:01 a.m. Saturday after five unions representing about half its workforce walked off the job for the first time in three decades.<\/p>\n<p>The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and the Transportation Communications Union said in a statement Sunday that workers \u201care not asking for special treatment \u2014 they are simply fighting to keep up with the skyrocketing cost of living in the New York region after years without a raise.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Workers have gone years without a new contract<\/h4>\n<p>The unions and the MTA have been negotiating a new contract since 2023, but talks have stalled over salaries and healthcare. The Trump administration got involved in September after unions asked for the appointment of a panel of experts, but they still couldn\u2019t reach a deal.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>At a news conference Sunday, Hochul said workers would lose every dollar they would gain with a new contract by remaining on strike for three days.<\/p>\n<p>MTA Chairman Janno Lieber also urged a fast resolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are headed in a positive direction but we have to get it finished,\u201d Lieber told WABC-TV.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=7471\">Supreme Court sends closely watched Native American voting rights decision back to lower court<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Sports fans felt the pain first<\/h4>\n<p>The first to be affected by the walkout \u2014 the LIRR\u2019s first since a two-day strike in 1994 \u2014 were the many sports fans who wanted to see the Yankees and Mets battle or the Knicks\u2019 playoff run at Madison Square Garden, which is located directly above the railroad\u2019s Penn Station hub in Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p>Federal law makes it extremely difficult for rail workers to walk out and even allows Congress to block a strike, but lawmakers have not intervened as they did with the nation\u2019s freight railroads in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Would-be commuters were greeted by train departure boards that listed ghost trains marked \u201cNo Passengers\u201d rather than upcoming trains listed by destination.<\/p>\n<p>Essential workers among the roughly 250,000 weekday LIRR riders took buses into the city from six locations on Long Island starting at 4 a.m. Monday. The evening rush-hour commute runs from around 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<h4>Hochul and Trump trade blame<\/h4>\n<p>Hochul, a Democrat, has blamed the Trump administration for cutting mediation short in September and pushing the unions toward a strike. Trump, a Republican, said on his Truth Social platform that he had nothing to do with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, Kathy, it\u2019s your fault, and now looking over the facts, you should not have allowed this to happen,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>Hochul urged companies and agencies that employ workers from Long Island to let them work from home whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s impossible to fully replace LIRR service. So effective Monday, I\u2019m asking that regular commuters who can work from home, should. Please do so,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The MTA has said the unions\u2019 initial demands to raise salaries would result in large fare increases and be disproportionate to other unionized workers\u2019 pay.<\/p>\n<p>The unions, which represent locomotive engineers, machinists, signalmen and others, have said more substantial raises are warranted to help workers keep up with inflation and rising living costs.<\/p>\n<p><em>McCormack reported from Concord, New Hampshire.
