A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the New York city collective bargaining law

Summary

This bill would amend the New York City Collective Bargaining Law to account for the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Janus v. AFSCMC. The bill would provide that there are certain services and benefits that public unions are not required to provide to non-members. In addition, it would remove a reference to “agency fees” which are no longer required to be paid by non-members. It would also allow non-members, in certain circumstances and with the permission of the union, to proceed through the grievance process and arbitration without union representation, so long as the non-member assumes the cost for arbitration that would otherwise be paid by the union.
