As the day has worn on, temperatures outside MTA headquarters in Manhattan have risen to the mid-80s and the sun’s angle has shifted, so picketers are feeling the heat.
Taking a break, Ezekiel Rose, a locomotive engineer who has been with the LIRR two years, spoke to Newsday in a voice hoarse from chanting.
“It’s been a powerful effect [to be] out here with my union brothers and my sisters. We just want a fair contract and a fair wage," he said.
“We know the MTA has the power to give us what we want.”
