Negotiators reach a deal to end strike on Long Island Rail Road

Negotiators reached a tentative deal Monday to end the Long Island Rail Road strike, according to AP and local coverage, after the work stoppage disrupted service for about 250,000 daily riders.

The agreement was announced after three days of stoppage. Union leaders said the tentative deal would go to members for review before final details were released.

Service was expected to resume Tuesday around noon, with a phased restart before full service returned later in the day.

Governor Kathy Hochul said the deal would not raise fares or taxes, according to AP's reporting.

What comes next

The immediate questions are whether union members ratify the tentative agreement and whether the parties release more detail on wages, health care and other contract terms. Officials also could adjust the timing of the phased service restart if needed.
