Relates to disputes between employers and recognized employee organizations

This bill clarifies when New York's state labor law applies to employer-employee disputes. It specifies that New York's labor relations act does not cover employees already protected under federal laws (like the National Labor Relations Act) or when federal labor boards have jurisdiction. For all other employees, the state labor board must promptly certify existing union representatives as the official bargaining agent and maintain current work terms during the certification process. This ensures continuity for employees and employers not covered by federal labor rules.
