Long Island Rail Road strike is over, New York Gov. Hochul says

The Long Island Rail Road strike has ended, according to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.

"Tonight, the MTA reached a fair deal with the five LIRR unions that delivers raises for workers while protecting riders and taxpayers. I’m pleased to announce that phased LIRR service will resume beginning tomorrow at noon," Hochul said in a statement on X Monday night.

The LIRR serves more than 300,000 commuters daily.
