2019-S3918 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                
 
BILL NUMBER: S3918

SPONSOR: GOUNARDES
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to employees classi-
fied as the Triborough bridge and tunnel authority superior officers
benevolent association of an MTA-employer and the resolution of disputes
in the course of collective negotiations

 
PURPOSE:

To allow certified or registered public employee organizations to repre-
sent employees as the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority Superior
Officer Benevolent Association of an MTA-public employer and to be
covered by the provisions of section 209 of the Civil Service Law.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one amends section 209 of the Civil Service Law to grant binding
arbitration to Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority Superior Officer

Benevolent Association members.

Section two states that this bill shall take effect immediately,
provided, however, that the amendments to paragraph (f) of section
209(5) of the Civil Service Law made by section one of this bill shall
not affect the expiration of such subdivision and shall be deemed to
expire therewith.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Current provisions of Chapter 929 of the Laws of 1986 relating to
compulsory arbitration to resolve impasses in collective negotiations
between an MTA public employer and a public employee organization left
out certain employees from receiving this benefit. This bill would
correct this inequity.

Over the years, compulsory arbitration has allowed the people of New
York to enjoy uninterrupted services. All evaluations of the effects of
this law have been positive and have advocated the continuation of this
process.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2018: S.5815 - Vetoed, Memo No. 283
2017: S.5815 - 3rd Reading Calendar
2015: S.3524 - Vetoed, No. 204

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This bill shall take effect immediately, provided, however, that the
amendments to paragraph (f) of section 209 (5) of the Civil Service Law
made by section one of this bill shall not affect the expiration of such
subdivision and shall be deemed to expire therewith.
