The MTA and unions representing LIRR workers reached a deal to end the railroad strike, officials announced on Monday.
“Tonight, the @MTA reached a fair deal with the five LIRR unions that delivers raises for workers while protecting riders and taxpayers,” Gov. Kathy Hochul wrote in a statement.
“I’m pleased to announce that phased LIRR service will resume beginning tomorrow at noon.”
