Can MTA workers strike?

Unlike MTA bus and subway workers, who cannot legally strike under New York's Taylor Law, LIRR and Metro-North employees are governed by the federal Railway Labor Act, which permits a strike if all attempts at negotiation have failed. The parties have an upcoming mediation meeting scheduled for August 1.
