Public employers in New York are subject to s statue commonly known as the Taylor Law, which sets the rules for union recognition and collective bargaining. As is the case in the private sector with the NLRB, collective bargaining disputes and other improper practice charges in the public sector in New York are processed by a government agency – PERB.
Our lawyers represent employers in PERB proceedings throughout the state, from including cases involving impasse resolution, mediation, interest arbitration for police and fire personnel (compulsory by statute), and improper practice allegations related to alleged refusals to bargain and discrimination charges. Collective bargaining in the public sector also implicates rules regarding maintenance of the status quo pending bargaining under New York’s Triborough Amendment, which are also adjudicated by PERB – we routinely represent employers in cases involving those allegations.
