The end of 2025 is fast-approaching and we only have a few days left to capitalize on several big legislative victories - earlier this year we helped pass several pieces of pro-worker legislation, and now Governor Hochul must sign them into law!

In 2022, CWA helped pass legislation to protect against the use of One Touch Make Ready where it interferes with our Collective Bargaining Agreements, and earlier this year our former CWA Local 1123 President Chris Ryan, in his first year in the NY State Senate, helped us pass legislation (S.6997 / A.7544) to ensure that the 2022 law is strongly enforced. This bill requires attachers and their contractors to identify their work, creates a mechanism for us to report unsafe make-ready work and violations of Collective Bargaining agreements, and adds serious penalties for companies who violate the law.
