The attached public notice seeking input with regard to whether NYS Department of Labor (DOL) "regulations are unnecessary, unbalanced, unwise, duplicative, or unduly burdensome" has been publicly posted pursuant to Executive Order Number 25. We expect the business community to respond with a litany of anti-union charges against the many workplace rules and regulations that have been established over the years. We strongly encourage every union to review and be aware of any labor related rules and regulations that may affect them and be prepared for possible attempts by the Paterson Administration to amend and/or repeal them, pursuant to the intent of Executive Order #25. We have written to the Administrative Regulations Review Commission requesting review of the process being advanced by Executive Order 25. (Letter attached). While it is not possible to include the complete text of every labor related rule and regulation with this email we have attached an index of rules and regulations for your review. Please be advised that each state agency, including the Department of Health, Education, Civil Service, Environmental Conservation, etc., has been charged with reviewing rules and regulation so this list may not include all items that would affect your locals. We encourage all affiliates to send letters in support of any rules and regulation that are important to your locals and share that information with the NYS AFL-CIO. For any questions, please call the NYS AFL-CIO Legislative Department at 1-518-436-8516.
