Metro-North's largest union is calling for an end to the mask mandate on trains because members who have tried to enforce the mandate have been physically and verbally assaulted by defiant riders.
Metro-North's largest union is calling for an end to the mask mandate on trains.
The head of the Association of Commuter Rail Employees said masks should be optional -- not mandatory -- because members who have tried to enforce the mandate have been physically and verbally assaulted by defiant riders. "This safety measure has become unenforceable and a hazard in its own right," the union said in a statement.
New York has kept its mask rules in place for all MTA agencies, including Metro-North, the Long Island Rail Road, and NYC subways. The union points out neighboring agencies New Jersey Transit and Connecticut Rail have dropped their mask mandates.
