US EditionTrump administration asks Supreme Court to allow firing of Fed Governor Lisa Cook
- President Donald Trump signed an executive order on September 16, 2025, appointing a three-member emergency board to mediate the Long Island Rail Road contract dispute in New York.
- The board was created following a request by five labor unions representing about half of LIRR's 7,000 workers, who threatened to strike over rejected wage proposals.
- LIRR workers turned down a 9.5% raise over three years, demanding a 16% increase due to wages not keeping pace with New York's cost of living, while the MTA cites these workers as the highest paid nationwide.
- The board will begin work on September 18, 2025, report non-binding recommendations to the president within 30 days, and legally impose a 120-day delay on any work stoppage through mid-January 2026.
- This intervention pauses the threatened strike, aims to bring both parties back to negotiations, and delays potential disruption for over 300,000 daily LIRR passengers and local events like the Ryder Cup.
