New York City’s Monday morning commute turned to chaos this week as Long Island Rail Road workers continued their strike for higher wages.

LIRR workers began picketing on Saturday after negotiations between their unions and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority reached an impasse. The strike caused all 11 branches of the LIRR to shut down, obfuscating the commutes of the railroad’s approximate 300,000 daily passengers on Monday morning. This is the first LIRR strike in over three decades.
