BREAKING: MTA and LIRR unions reach deal ending 3-day strike, Hochul says

A strike that ground the Long Island Rail Road, the nation’s busiest commuter rail system, to a halt for the past three days ended Monday night as the MTA and representatives of five unions representing half of the system’s workforce came to an agreement, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced.

Train service is expected to return Tuesday afternoon, with phased-in service beginning at about noon, the governor said.
