LIRR Strike Enters Day 3 as Talks Resume

The Long Island Rail Road strike, the first in 32 years, entered its third day on Monday as negotiations resumed between the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and five unions representing about 3,500 workers. The walkout began on Saturday, halting service for 300,000 daily riders. The strike has disrupted commuter rail service across Long Island and parts of New York City, with no immediate resolution in sight. The unions are demanding better wages and working conditions, while the MTA has emphasized the need for cost-saving measures. The strike highlights ongoing tensions between labor and management in public transit.
