BILL NUMBER:S1935
Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to prohibit- ing state funding to businesses that outsource jobs
Purpose
Allow State funding when applicable to those companies that create jobs within New York state, and prohibit financial incentives for companies that send jobs outside the State.
Summary of provisions
Section 219 of the Labor Law, which details violations of certain wage payment provisions, is amended.
Existing law
None, although efforts have been made in the New York State Legislature to address this topic.
Justification
As jobs are consolidated and cut, and as companies recoup profits through different measures, workers will feel the effects through diminished wages, decreased work hours and loss of their posi- tion to lower paid workers. outsourcing is an attractable option for companies looking to cut their costs and it is our intention to create barriers for companies that utilize this option. A company should not be rewarded with state funding when they utilize the monies for workers outside the State.
The local economy often feels the affect of outsourcing for fewer jobs are available to local residents. In turn, quality-of-life i.s dimin- ished as residents are left without viable forms of employment in their local town, village or county and are thus pressured to seek employment elsewhere, sometimes outside New York State. In addition, more people will seek food stamps and other means of public support to get them- selves and families by. As outsourcing continues and residents leave the state, tax monies that can be utilized to create new jobs are lost due to a decline in the number of residents.
The premise of this proposed legislation is simple: keeps jobs and resi- dents in New York state.
