Relates to the right of public employees and employee organizations to strike; repealer
This bill repeals existing laws that prohibit public employees and their organizations from striking in New York. It removes specific provisions in the civil service law that banned strikes, imposed penalties like payroll deductions for violations, and required disciplinary actions against employees participating in strikes. The repeal directly affects public employees (such as teachers, sanitation workers, and government staff) and their unions by eliminating legal barriers to organizing strikes. This change would allow public employees to legally engage in strike activity under current labor laws, as the prohibitions are being removed. The bill does not create new strike rights but removes the existing ban.
