For the first time in 30 years, hundreds of thousands of people rely on the LIRR are without service because of a strike. 
We all know that the railroad is the lifeblood of Long Island. 
Without it, life as we know it is simply not possible. 
The bottom line is no one wins in a strike. 
Everyone is hurt. 
The hundreds of thousands of people who rely on the railroad and the thousands of unionized workers who are losing out on wages. 
Unions, you're invited back in. 
Okay, here's my official invitation. 
We didn't want you to leave. 
You left. 
You are welcome to come back. 
I'll provide refreshments, whatever you like. 
Just come on back. 
This is important to show that we have partners who are willing to get to a resolution to this because it's hurting their members as well as our commuters. 
And for this strike And we are we're more than willing to meet them halfway on wages. 
In fact, they wanted much more than halfway. 
So, that was much more than halfway, which is why we put new ideas on the table again and again and again and they were rejected every time and apparently they then criticized us for putting new ideas on the table. 
We need ideas about how to bridge the gap.
