Get the latest news on the LIRR strike Monday as more than 300,000 commuters are impacted by workers going to the picket lines.

Long Island Rail Road workers went on strike late Friday night after wage talks with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority collapsed.

MTA Chairman Janno Lieber said the unions rejected the MTA’s final offer that “literally gave them everything they said they wanted in terms of pay.”

The work stoppage of North America’s largest commuter rail line – its first since 1994 – began at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, after negotiations over a new contract stalled over workers’ salaries and healthcare costs. It was unclear when negotiations would resume.

Meanwhile, on Monday, the first day the strike affected the work week commuters braced for delays as they turned to shuttle buses and subways to get into work.
