New York faced a looming triple crisis as city transit workers threatened to strike, Long Island bus and rail staff planned a walkout, and toll collectors could slow traffic into Manhattan. Conrail lines in Westchester stood as the sole MT A operation not facing a strike. Negotiations aimed to avert a three‑pronged disruption and a court review under the Taylor Law. The MTA offered 3.5 percent yearly raises over 34 months to 33,600 bus and subway workers, while unions sought about 15 percent over 22 months, with the dispute hinged on productivity concessions and wage guidelines.
