Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to the protection of owner-drivers
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill adds a new §220-i to the the Labor Law providing for the protection of owner-drivers.
Justification
There is reported to be an increased utilization of owner-drivers as defined in the legislation, in connection with on-site work on state and local public works projects and the delivery and/or removal of materials from such projects.
Such utilization of owner-drivers has had the effect, in many cases, of undermining prevailing wages and overall workplace standards applicable to such work projects.
This provision is being implemented to ensure that appropriate prevailing wage and overall workplace standards are maintained on public work projects for both owner-drivers and all other drivers employed by contractors and subcontractors on state and local public works projects.
