Absolutely hysterical that @LIRR is posting ALERTS about work related service disruptions when the whole railroad is going to be totally shutdown by workers’ strike action. A STRIKE is almost definitely forthcoming and the blame lies solely with @GovKathyHochul and Multi-Million Dollar hatchet-man lawyer, Gary Dellaverson, who is recklessly sending @LIRR & @MTA off a cliff. @LIFEDofLABOR @NYSAFLCIO @CentralLaborNYC @transportworker

Penn Station service remains suspended while Amtrak crews continue repair work after a fire near the terminal. Most trains tonight are diverted to/from Grand Central. There may be AM rush hour delays, reroutes, and cancellations tomorrow. Check your train's status in the morning.

.@GovKathyHochul literally is “the side” that is triggering this strike. If she wanted to settle this contract she would not have hired the anti-worker hatchet-man, destructive Gary Dellaverson , to represent her in bargaining. His involvement dramatically increases the chances of @LIRR workers shutting the stem down. Under her instructions, he is leading @MTA to the edge of the cliff , Hochul’s actions here are nearly at the point of no return. A strike is now highly likely. Anti-Worker Governors need Anti-Worker Lawyers, and Hochul is getting what she wanted. @LIFEDofLABOR @TWULocal100 @transportworker @NYSAFLCIO @CentralLaborNYC

NEW: @GovKathyHochul “called into this morning’s negotiations with one simple message: getting a deal requires both sides to work together, including labor. Nobody wins in a strike - riders will suffer and thousands of workers will lose out on wages they need.” #NBC4NY

"This is fundamentally a safety issue. Our union is calling on Congress and the FAA to require at least one Flight Attendant per door exit on widebody aircraft.” @FlyingWithSara

FAA certifications have allowed airlines to assign one Flight Attendant to cover two door exits on widebody aircraft. Our union has met with lawmakers on this critical safety issue. We’re grateful to @SenDuckworth & @SenBaldwinGSPP for demanding answers.

"Not a luxury; it is life-saving necessity" @CBSNews Exclusive: Senators demand FAA look into minimum staffing rules allowing fewer flight attendants than exit doors on some airliners. They also seek an update on overdue evacuation testing. Our story: cbsnews.com/news/duckworth…

In the event of an emergency evacuation, every second counts. Flight crews are elite safety professionals trained to move passengers off an aircraft in seconds. Passengers must listen to their instructions and exit the aircraft immediately leaving all carry-on items behind. Any delay risks the safety of everyone on board. Leave the luggage!
AFA-CWA@afa_cwa

Listen to Flight Attendant instructions. In the event of an emergency, LEAVE ALL BAGS BEHIND. Material possessions are not worth your life or another passenger's.

Congrats to @AFAUnitedMEC on their new contract! Nearly 30,000 flight attendants will see an average pay increase of 31%, and receive $740 million in back pay. This is why we need unions! They’re the biggest check on systems that punish hardworking Americans!

Like many people, I had my horrific experiences on Spirit Airlines (like the time they cancelled my flight home and put me on another flight four days later, for example...) But this episode of The Daily was really good and made me think. nytimes.com/2026/05/07/pod…

My @SpiritAirlines story: my daughter and I in July 2024 took Spirit up to Boston so I could drop her off to spend a week with her grandparents. It was the day of the crowdstrike meltdown, so spirit employees had to hand write paper tickets before we could go through security. We made the flight and I ended up writing part of our story from the plane as we sat on the tarmac reuters.com/business/aeros…
