It looks like LIRR is heading towards a strike over a 5% wage increase in the last year. I’ll also note that LIRR employees make considerably MORE to begin with than our PEF and CSEA folks in LI. Why can’t either of our unions bring at minimum 5% to the table? Seems very reasonable given the very high cost of simply existing downstate.

To note: LIRR is not under Taylor law, they are under a railroad workers law which allows strikes.
