Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to establishing a workplace readiness week for secondary school students
AI Summary
This bill establishes a "Workplace Readiness Week" for secondary school students, where schools must provide information on their rights as workers, including child labor laws, wage and hour protections, worker safety, workers' compensation, paid sick leave, prohibitions against retaliation, and the right to organize a union. The bill also requires that students in 11th and 12th grades receive this education as part of their regular curriculum, and that any minor seeking working papers be issued a document explaining their basic labor rights. The bill encourages the New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University to produce a template for this document, which must be provided in multiple languages.
