@madison_tayt No the workers make 200k a year they are greedy this is insane do you make 200k? No

@RyanBrosky Yes

Should LIRR riders go on strike by not paying for the hefty price to ride and late service?

@chayesmatthew No the workers make 200k a year they are greedy this is insane do you make 200k? No

Striking union LIRR locomotive engineer George Barreto, picketing MTA headquarters Monday, on the job for 28 years. Lives in Philly. Makes ~$200,000/year. He says of work rules requiring 3x day’s pay if asked to drive 3 different trains on a shift… (1/2)

@cenzo_54 @CarlHigbie Agreed

@CarlHigbie How about we privatize & automate the LIRR and fire everyone striking

OK... How about: You get your raise, but if the trains are late, unclean or otherwise unsatisfactory you LOSE 5%

@transportworker @GovKathyHochul @LIRR @MTA No the workers make 200k a year they are greedy this is insane do you make 200k? No

.@Govkathyhochul recklessly caused this @LIRR strike, denying workers - who haven’t had a raise in years - reasonable wage increases averaging 3.6% a year so they could contend with inflation. Then she outrageously let her @MTA corporate henchman Chair Janno Lieber portray workers as greedy.  Despicable for anyone, even more so for a so-called Democrat. @twusamuelsen @BLET @NYSAFLCIO @LIFEDofLABOR @IBEW @TWULocal100

Penn Station is DEAD. Never seen it this empty

@alexbronzini the workers make 200k a year they are greedy this is insane do you make 200k? Most don’t.

The LIRR strikers’ demands are dumb and bad. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@0KJANNE No the workers make 200k a year they are greedy this is insane do you make 200k? No

@SmiggityMemes @News12LI No the workers make 200k a year they are greedy this is insane do you make 200k? No

@News12LI There hasn’t been a raise in years from what I know… also no they can’t replace the workers that easily it takes plenty of training and entrance exams. Plus no you wont be making 6 figured right away… there is a pay structure where the longer you work the more raises you get..

LIRR STRIKE: Talks between LIRR unions and the MTA have resumed on day three of the strike, with the MTA chairman telling News 12 that the agencies have made progress. bit.ly/3RMtyod #News12LI #LIRR #Transportation

I got out at Penn Station and asked a striking LIRR worker who he voted for in 2024. He said, “why is that relevant?” Exactly as I expected.

@claireforny No the workers make 200k a year they are greedy this is insane do you make 200k? No

On the picket line with LIRR workers at Penn Station. Three years without a raise is a pay cut. Gov. Hochul and the MTA need to come back to the table and negotiate a fair contract now. The workers who run the busiest commuter rail in North America have waited long enough.

@GovKathyHochul @MTA No the workers make 200k a year they are greedy this is insane do you make 200k? No

We’re working closely with @MTA to minimize the impacts of the LIRR strike and keep people informed of alternate travel options to and from Long Island. I’m encouraging all sides to continue negotiating and end this strike as quickly as possible.

@theresuh219 No the workers make 200k a year they are greedy this is insane do you make 200k? No

Pay the LIRR whatever they want this is crippling

@WalksWallstreet The LIRR workers make 200k a year and job block anyone besides relatives this is absurd democrat or republican these workers are greedy.

I never understood why we even have train conductors anyway on the LIRR. Just a cartoonish waste of money and should be completely automated. A little guy walks around asking to see a physical train ticket 🎫 what is this the polar express? Automate the trains, put gates at the stations and problem solved.

@CuseConnection @JasonMurilloNY What are we gonna pay train workers 500k? To suck cock

@JasonMurilloNY The state had $5.5B for illegal immigrants to live in free housing with free healthcare and free food. Nothing for our hard working lirr employees.

Real talk: LIRR workers are striking because they can’t survive on what they’re being offered in one of the most expensive regions in America. Hard-working New Yorkers deserve livable wages and also give relief to those who ride LIRR daily #LIRRStrike #UnionStrong #LowerFares

@sha256manny @CentralLaborNYC The LIRR workers make 200k a year and job block anyone besides relatives this is absurd democrat or republican these workers are greedy.

@CentralLaborNYC Gfy. Many of you can be replaced by turnstiles. $140k to ride a train and scan phones. Enough. You should all get Reagan’ed.

Fair contract right now for LIRR workers! #LIRRSTRIKE

Solidarity with the LIRR workers on strike ✊🏼 MTA management should come to the table and give workers the contract they deserve! #LIRRStrike

@GovKathyHochul @MTA @LIRR Worst governor we had

Just received an update from @MTA leadership on the status of @LIRR negotiations and plans for alternate service.

Long Islanders depend on the LIRR. The MTA remains ready to negotiate, and I continue to urge both sides to stay at the table and work around the clock toward a deal that ends this strike.
