AMENDMENTS TO THE TAYLOR LAW

The AFT supports the efforts of the New York State United Teachers to reform the New York State Taylor Law with regard to the following:

That it be mandatory for all the terms of an expired agreement to be continued until a new agreement is negotiated.

Deletion of the provision requiring a double loss of salary for each day an employee is allegedly out on strike.

That public employee unions be granted the basic right of notice before the issuance of a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction is issued in threatened strike situations.

To reestablish a presumption of arbitrability in the public sector labor disputes arising out of collective bargaining agreements. (Executive Council)
