Long Island Rail Road unions, MTA's late-night bargaining session ends with no deal to stop strike
With the LIRR strike entering its third day, the MTA and union leaders will resume talks at 7:30 a.m. Monday.
Five LIRR unions representing the striking transit workers did not reach a deal with the MTA in time to ensure the railroad could run service on Tuesday morning.
The MTA and a consortium of unions sat at the bargaining table until about 1 a.m. Monday, but left without ending the strike, which has now gone into its third day.
