A 6938 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to collective bargaining rights to farm laborers, repealing certain provisions of chapter 105 of the laws of 2019 and repealing certain provisions of the labor law and the workers' compensation law

This bill repeals previous exclusions that denied farm laborers in New York State collective bargaining rights and workers' compensation coverage. It amends the Labor Law to include farm workers in the definition of "employees," allowing them to form unions and negotiate contracts like other workers. The bill also updates regulations for farm labor camps, requiring permits and setting standards for living conditions, while removing exemptions that previously kept farm employers from certain labor protections.
