BILL NUMBER:S4249 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law, in relation to the power of the public employment relations board to investigate unfair labor practices Purpose of the Bill: This bill would amend procedures under the New York State Employment Relations Act (SERA), Labor Law §§ 700 et seq., regarding unfair labor practices and the service of pleadings, orders and other papers by the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB). Summary of Provisions: Section 1 of the bill would amend Labor Law § 706(2) by eliminating the responsibility of PERB to investigate unfair labor practice charges alleging violations of Labor Law §§ 704 and 704-a, and to issue and prosecute complaints with respect to those charges, consistent with its responsibilities under the Taylor Law. Section 2 of the bill would amend Labor Law § 708(5) to delete reference to the telegraph as an acceptable means of service under SERA. The bill would also eliminate the need for PERB to utilize certified or registered mail as a means of mail service for all pleadings, orders and other papers, rather than first-class mail.
