Bill > A09870

This bill requires the New York State Power Authority and its employees to submit all unresolvable contract negotiations to binding arbitration, similar to the existing process for the New York City Transit Authority and Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The bill amends the Civil Service Law to include the Power Authority in the provisions for referring unresolved contract negotiations to a public arbitration panel, which consists of representatives from the employer and employee organization, as well as a neutral public member. This aims to provide a formal dispute resolution mechanism for contract negotiations between the Power Authority and its employees.
