BILL NUMBER:S3120
Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to mandatory arbitration
Purpose
Include the New York Power Authority in the provisions relating to compulsory arbitration to resolve impasses in collective negotiations.
Summary of provisions
Amends Section 45 of Chapter 929 of the Laws of 1986.
Justification
Current provisions of Chapter 929 of the Laws of 1986 relate to compulsory arbitration to resolve impasses in collective negotiations between an MTA public employer and a public employee organization certified or recognized to represent employees of such MTA public employer. This bill would add employees of the New York Power Authority to those who receive such benefits. Compulsory arbitration has allowed the people of New York to enjoy uninterrupted service. All evaluations of the effects of this law have been positive and have advocated the continuation of this process.
