Fed up Long Island Rail Road commuters have leveled a class action lawsuit against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, claiming that chronically delayed, canceled and inadequate service amounts to breach of contract and even intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Proposed class members “have suffered discipline at work, loss of job interviews, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, physical distress and have had current physical ailments … aggravated,” alleges the lawsuit filed in Nassau County Supreme Court by plaintiffs-side employment and civil rights lawyer Paul Liggieri.
