Bill > S07409

This bill prohibits the State University of New York (SUNY) from contracting out or privatizing services currently performed by unclassified service employees at SUNY Albany. Specifically, SUNY and its affiliated entities are barred from outsourcing work to the ground lessee, any subsidiary of the ground lessee, or the SUNY Research Foundation. The bill ensures that all functions currently handled by unclassified service employees at SUNY Albany must continue to be performed by those same employees. Additionally, the bill preserves employees' existing rights and benefits under collective bargaining agreements and civil service law, and explicitly states that SUNY and the state of New York acknowledge their obligations as employers and agree not to exercise any contractual rights to outsource services. The legislation is specifically tied to the Albany NanoTech Complex and appears designed to protect the job security of current SUNY Albany unclassified service employees by preventing potential privatization or outsourcing of their current roles.
