ABNY

NEW YORK, NY - JULY 17: People walk along a Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) platform on July 17, 2014 in New York City. Three days before workers were expected to walk off the job, state officials and union leaders have said that a strike has been averted. New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced details of the deal saying that it calls for 17 percent raises over six and a half years. Over 300,000 people use the train service on the weekdays.
