Relates to the right of public employees and employee organizations to strike; repealer

This bill (S 938) repeals existing laws that prohibited public employees in New York from striking and imposed penalties for strike participation. It directly affects public employees and their unions by removing legal bans on strikes and eliminating associated penalties like payroll deductions. The key mechanism is the repeal of specific Civil Service Law provisions that previously banned strikes, required disciplinary action for participants, and mandated financial penalties. This change would allow public employees to engage in strikes without facing these specific legal consequences under the repealed sections. The bill does not create new strike rights but removes the prohibitions that were in place.
