It's not officially over from what I have heard on news radio. They are taking step to get everyone to return to work. The strike hasn't officially been called off.

Re: THE STRIKE IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is from cnn.com

A mediator in the New York transit strike today said union leaders have agreed to 'take steps' to have more than 30,000 striking employees return to work while contract negotiations continue. The agreement must be approved by the union's executive board, said mediator Richard Curreri. If the executive board accepts the recommendation, the union would get back to work, but the timetable for getting public transportation back online was unclear.
