Personal injury lawyer Ihor Stratan, 39, of Farmingdale, said he depends on the LIRR as he travels between court houses throughout the week.
While his firm is based in Garden City, he will travel as far as the Bronx and Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Nassau County most days of his work week.
“It’s like tremendously important to use the LIRR to commute, because it's very difficult to find parking space in the city, and it's much faster for court appearances,” he said.
If the strike does occur, Stratan said he will drive and spend money on a garage for parking.
He said eventually the negotiations have to lead to some resolution.
“It's hard to say, but it has to be some middle ground,” Stratan said.
