If no agreement is reached during that time, SMART and the other unions are legally allowed to strike July 19 under provisions of the Railway Labor Act.<br \/>\nHowever, Simon told New York\u2019s <em>Newsday<\/em> May 27 that SMART would be willing to extend by 60 days, or until mid-September, any strike on the railroad.<br \/>\n\u201cOur members care about Long Island and its economy,\u201d said Simon, adding that a strike could harm summer tourism-based businesses. \u201cAll we would need is the MTA to mutually agree on the extension.\u201d<br \/>\nSMART&#8217;s coalition partners include the Transportation Communications Union, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, and the National Conference of Firemen &amp; Oilers-Service Employees International Union.<br \/>\nTo print a rally flyer, click <a href=\"https:\/\/static.smart-union.org\/worksite\/PDFs\/LIRR_Rally_Sign_(2).pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<br \/>\nShow your support here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.keeplongislandmoving.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.keeplongislandmoving.net<\/a><br \/>\nSee also:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2014\/06\/18\/1307889\/-Long-Island-Railroad-workers-urge-management-and-Gov-Cuomo-to-help-delay-strike-deadline#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LIRR workers urge management, Cuomo to help delay strike deadline<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Association of Sheet, Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers and its allied unions on the Long Island Rail Road invite members of organized labor and their family, friends and supporters to a \u201cLIRR Labor Rally\u201d on Saturday, June 21, at 11 a.m. at the Massapequa Train Station.
