Hochul signs three labor bills at her Labor Appreciation Reception: $1,000-per-violation AG penalties for impersonating a union rep, a Construction Reporting Pay Act (2 hours' pay for shifts cancelled with under 12 hours' notice, 4 hours if sent home), and a right to see your personnel file

At the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies on Sept. 9, Hochul signed A.10835-A/S.9577-A (AG may seek $1,000 per violation from people fraudulently posing as union representatives; sponsors Ramos/Griffin), A.6950/S.9843 (Construction Reporting Pay Act: two hours at regular rate if a shift is cancelled with less than 12 hours' notice, four hours if a worker reports and is sent home without cause; current law is four hours at minimum wage; sponsors Ramos/Cruz) and A.2107/S.3460 (employees may access their personnel files and must be notified when negative information is added; sponsors Gounardes/Gonzalez-Rojas; the release says at least 17 states already guarantee this). AFL-CIO, NYSUT, CSEA, DC 37, Building Trades and LIUNA issued supporting quotes. Effective dates are not stated in the release.
