What happened

Well supportedReported by 23 independent outlets

Governor Kathy Hochul has signed several pieces of legislation into law in New York, with some measures taking effect immediately upon signing. One law grants the state attorney general the power to investigate and sue groups that use deceptive communications falsely claiming to be authorized by a union, with fines up to $1,000 per incident. Additionally, new requirements mandate that employers provide construction workers with pay when shifts are canceled on short notice or when they are sent home without cause. A third measure establishes broad rights for current and former employees to access their personnel records and be notified of negative additions.
