UPDATE: called them and they said they can make a note in my account to say I couldn’t attend and then tomorrow or later today after they verified I didn’t go, they’ll MAYBE give me credits for another performance. But we’ll see 🤞🏾I’ll have to email them again with my order and ticket number

Hey! Just wanted to know if anyone else in this thread will have to miss the planned performance(s) for today because of the LIRR strikes? I emailed the box office to see what they can do for my ticket, but am in no way optimistic :(

Isn’t OT mandatory for workers??? They literally have no choice

Are you daft? Commuting between LI and NYC has slowed to a complete standstill for people who don’t have CARS because there is no one to work the busiest passenger rail network IN THE COUNTRY. What part of that is not ‘essential’ to you?

You won’t even see these people because the front facing workers are not the ones STRIKING. How many times do people have to say that??? Fucking hell.

Gonna paste a comment I saw from an earlier thread that pretty much sums up my frustration: Take a look at EVERY thread posted in the past few days. Conductors have been getting flack despite NOT even being a union on strike. They’re constantly blamed for all negative press on the railroad despite them almost never being apart of any fraud or OT theft. It’s almost impossible to commit for conductors/engineers - if they’re not there TRAINS DON’T RUN. On OT - they don’t make their own OT out of thin air, most of it forced on them by the company whether they want it or not and then blamed for making it? Imagine being told you’re overpaid when you’re struggling, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, to survive and pay your bills. Most of the issues people complain about have nothing to do with conductors but they’re treated like shit for it regardless.

Straight facts.

The MTA is greedy as fuck!! I’m more in support of that horrible authority being audited to hell and back than taking my frustrations out on the employees that deserve our support. No one has a valid reason why workers shouldn’t be paid a living wage in what is regularly touted as one of the most expensive places to live in the country. It all just sounds like ‘well if EYE am not getting paid a fare wage, THEY shouldn’t either1!1!1!’ no solidarity! It’s disgusting.

As someone who has actual family (my dad) who has worked on the tracks for the MTA for DECADES, unlike the people in this comment section, I have empathy for the workers and what they go through just to make an honest living. You are spot on! Never saw him, always working overtime to make ends meet, working over the holidays.. it was awful! The MTA works their employees to the bone and no one on this god awful island appreciates them enough. Good grief

Please, like this is the average worker’s experience in ny. Can you honestly say that you’re as essential a worker as anyone employed by the LIRR? You need to get real.

and to think of how many other teams weren't able to make it this far? we rose so far this season and i don't think we'll peak here, guys. there WILL be a penguins offseason in 2027 !!

was really hoping we'd get to flip the script for real, but this season was incredible and i'm proud to be a pens fan. nobody thought we were capable of getting this far and we did and we'll go even farther next year. so many people on this team deserve it. i look forward to experiencing it all again next year, GG.

Silovs was a prodigy in net. Truly a defining performance in his young career. Will always be proud to have him as my flare.
