Duncan Freeman at The Chief Leader reports Members of Public Sector Unions in New York City could soon have the right to decertify their Unions expanded following a State Supreme Court ruling in a case involving the State Agency tasked with administering Labor Law in the Public Sector and its City counterpart. The state Public Employee Review Board has been pushing since 2023 for the City’s Office of Collective Bargaining (OCB) to change a 1960s-era “contract bar rule” that dictates when Union Members can decertify their Unions to get it in line with PERB’s. In a legal petition, the Board asked a Judge to force OCB to change the rule. PERB is empowered under the Public Employees' Fair Employment Act - commonly known as the Taylor Law - to dictate Labor Regulations in the Public Sector, both on the Statewide and local level.
