Bill > A08465

This bill amends the New York labor law to require prevailing wage for workers involved in hauling concrete and asphalt in specific regions, namely Nassau, Putnam, Suffolk, and Westchester counties, as well as New York City. Prevailing wage is a rate of pay that matches the typical compensation for similar work in a particular geographic area, typically determined by local unions or government agencies. The bill specifically mandates that workers who deliver concrete and asphalt to public works sites, perform return hauls (whether the truck is empty or loaded), and spend time loading or unloading materials must be paid at the prevailing wage rate. This change aims to ensure fair compensation for transportation workers in these designated areas. The bill will take effect immediately and will apply to contracts entered into on or after its enactment date, providing protection and standardized pay for workers in the construction material transportation sector.
