Trying to get to or from Staten Island Thursday evening? Be prepared to wait
Brian Laundrie Had Mom's ‘Burn After Reading' Letter in Backpack When He Died. Now It's Out
A city official said there was only enough staff to operate the ferries on an hourly service after all others called out. The off-duty workers eligible for overtime did not answer or return calls from the DOT. It wasn't immediately clear what caused the surge in sick-out calls from workers, though Fossella told NBC New York that a"long-term labor dispute" between the city and the workers that's"been going on for years" was at the center of it.
"All parties must get back to the negotiating table immediately to resolve this once and for all. If this disruption can happen today, it can happen next week and then the week after that," he said in a statement."Staten Island commuters are once again suffering from issues over which they have not created nor have control over."
Fossella said that previous stoppages and disruptions came during the late-night hours, but doing one during the evening rush hour during a holiday weekend and Fleet Week creates much bigger headaches. Fossella added that there's"no indication how long this will last."
