TCU/IAM is part of the the Long Island Railroad Bargaining Coalition. Our Coalition was released from mediation by the National Mediation Board last month. We are currently observing a cooling off period which ends on September 18. The Coalition wrote the Governor of New York requesting her assistance in requiring the LIRR to begin meaningful negotiations to address our concerns.
“Our unions have worked hard to narrow the gap in this round of negotiations. We are not that far apart but the time for games is over. The LIRR passengers deserve the assurance of dependable service without disruption. Our members deserve a fair contract. Governor Hochul can help deliver both.” -Artie Maratea TCU/IAM National President
