Long Island Rail Road workers go on strike, leaving 330,000 commuters without service on busiest US rail line

Long Island Rail Road workers went on strike, leaving 330,000 commuters without service, after negotiations with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority broke down over a proposed fourth-year wage increase. The strike is the fourth in the rail line's history and has caused severe congestion and delays across the region. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul described the strike as 'reckless' and 'unacceptable'.
