Bill > S4905

This bill revises the statutory definitions of certain waterfront workers and related terms, primarily by adding new definitions and modifying existing ones within the context of the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor. Key changes include defining "Director" as a person elected or appointed to the board of directors overseeing a stevedoring enterprise, "Officer" as an officer or managing executive of a stevedore who controls operating management, "Owner" as any entity that beneficially owns a stevedoring enterprise, and "Partner" as an owner of an interest in a partnership. The definition of "Stevedore" is expanded to include "corporate stevedore" for non-natural persons, and the definition of "hiring agent" is clarified to include those authorized to designate or select longshoremen for employment. Additionally, the bill updates the definition of "Telecommunications system controller" to refer to a person selected by a joint board of the New York Shipping Association, Inc. and the International Longshoremen's Association who operates the Labor Hiring System (LHS). These amendments aim to provide clearer and more comprehensive definitions for individuals and entities involved in waterfront operations and labor management.
