Long Island Rail Road workers strike over wages and subsequently reach a deal.

Five unions representing 3,500 Long Island Rail Road workers went on strike after failing to reach a contract agreement with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, halting service for hundreds of thousands of commuters. After three days of disrupted service, negotiators reached a tentative deal late Monday night to end the work stoppage, with service set to resume.
