BILL NUMBER:S6690
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law, in relation to the
definition of building service employee
PURPOSE:
To provide equal pay for custodian-helpers employed by the New York
City School Custodians who do the same work as those employed by
private companies.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
To amend the labor law by expanding the definition of building service
employee and contractor to § 230(1) and (4) of Article 9 of the New
York State Labor Law.
JUSTIFICATION:
This bill would correct a legal anomaly whereby custodian-helpers
employed by the New York City School Custodians are paid at a lower
wage than employees doing the same work for private companies. Passage
of this bill would correct this inequality and hold New York City
Public Schools accountable to New York's Prevailing Wage Law.
