On May 29, 2025, the Long Island Rail Road Bargaining Coalition (LIRRBC) consisting of the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen,  Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and the Transportation Communications Union attended the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Board Meeting to let them know that 55% of Long Island Rail Road’s unionized workforce is still without a contract. In an incredible show of solidarity, each Union stood shoulder-to-shoulder and firmly stated to the Board they will not take a concessionary agreement, and it was time for the MTA to offer a fair contract. The BRS stands in solidarity and will not rest until a fair agreement is reached.
