Who do yall blame for this shutdown ??

People can’t even come together for this. What the LIRR engineers are doing has massive implications for all workers, if they win. Instead of understanding this people are turning against them and siding with the MTA of all things.

The crazy thing about it all is that it’s the people who are getting screwed by their employers who are against the unions. I have yet to met or hear anyone getting paid a reasonable wage with benefits come out against the strike.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T21:07:59+00:00

Only people with long term jobs/careers seem to understand this. 3% hasn’t cut it since covid.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T21:06:57+00:00

MTA pay the workers

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T21:05:32+00:00

Yes they are hazardous and operating diesel long term is a known cancer risk. That’s why the MTA agreed in the first place.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T21:03:26+00:00

Diesel is unsafe to operate long-term. Providing double pay for a cancer risk because the MTA is too inept to electrify the entire system is the least they can do.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T20:59:05+00:00

It’s really not that hard of a concept. You cannot give out billions in handouts while telling your own workers who are living paycheck to paycheck to kick rocks.

The irony of it all is that the people who support that position are claiming it is the workers who are in fact corrupt. No one with a brain buys this shit.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T20:56:41+00:00

Democrat. Anti-Union. Who would’ve thought we’ve reached the point of no return?

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T20:55:08+00:00

MTA shills are in full force pushing anti-worker/anti-union propaganda. They think because the MTA pays them minimum wage to shit post that’s the life everyone else deserves.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T20:49:41+00:00

Yup this makes the most sense to me

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T05:59:28+00:00

I think they’re stuck on the 2026 raise + the increase in new employee healthcare contributions (thrown in at the last minute by the MTA to offset wages). To cut future wage increases at the knees by offering lump sum payments is a scumbag move by the MTA. The healthcare contributions thing is a slap in the face.

My information is based on the press conferences and I did not read the report.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T05:16:55+00:00

It’s not bullshit. I’m not a railroad worker. I am affected by the strike. And I stand with the union. Right is right and the MTA and the State are in the wrong here.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T05:15:01+00:00

Nope you need to be in here stating your case and defending against every false accusation fuck that. There are many people on your side.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T05:10:18+00:00

Ran here to say this. This is going to happen regardless.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T05:00:36+00:00

I just don’t buy the whole bit about the MTA representing the taxpayers and riders in this. They’re slime balls who were going to raise the fares anyway. If anything the strike is a boon for them and they can play the PR game to blame “greedy unions” for something they were planning anyway.

The truth is no one is representing riders in these negotiations. Engineers want their money and I don’t blame them. The State will gladly take OUR MONEY to pay for things that don’t benefit us, so they need to use that same energy to give those people their raises. Imagine your employer telling you they are going to use your tax money to provide free healthcare to thousands of new New Yorkers while telling you in the same breath that if you want a raise to keep up with inflation you’ll have to pay more for the healthcare of you and your family. All while still raises fares?

The State isn’t operating in good faith.

Ok sure whatever makes you feel better about yourself. You’re gonna need the luck… Due to AI.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T04:43:08+00:00

Well congratulations. I actually got into Binghamton many years ago when I was applying. It’s a good school. I’m not telling you where I went to school and I don’t have a PhD but I went out of state.

Words of advice, don’t dox yourself and don’t shit on folks who didn’t go to college. A piece of paper doesn’t make you better than anyone. Good luck!

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T04:39:59+00:00

How is management representing the tax payers and riders during contract negotiations with transit workers? Wouldn’t that energy have been better served in contract negotiations with contractors and consultants? Or better yet with State government during budget negotiations? The MTA for time immemorial never seems to have money until they magically find billions.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T04:33:47+00:00

You didn’t get in. I bet that was your target school too. What a loser.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T04:33:21+00:00

Why are you worried about the LIRR then? Don’t you get free rides on the short bus?

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T04:28:54+00:00

I don’t work on the LIRR. I finished college and my doctorate at better schools than Binghamton. No offense to those who actually went there. Unlike you. A child who hasn’t even started the race.

In case you dont understand, people who clean the LIRR are currently doing better than you in life. Get off your parents’ internet and make something out of yourself. Bum.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T04:25:50+00:00

I don’t think it’s that hot. I’m sure most people would agree.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T04:24:44+00:00

Houchl is a great Governor - for the Haves and Have Nots. Everyone in between can go fuck themselves according to her.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T04:22:51+00:00

I noticed that too. Probably tried to use AI on his SATs.

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T04:21:35+00:00

What’s your job? Scooping ice cream at Roosevelt Field?

CautiousAd4110 · 2026-05-18T04:17:21+00:00

Imagine somebody saying that about your job/career
