Long Island Rail Road service halted on Saturday May 16 2026 marking the first strike in roughly 30 years. The strike by unions representing about half the workforce threatens to disrupt travel for hundreds of thousands of riders between Long Island and New York City. New York officials urged commuters to work from home on Monday amid the ongoing labor dispute over wages. The walkout is the LIRR’s first since a two-day strike in 1994.
