Rochester Democrat and Chronicle: Reform of Taylor Law to heat up Albany
Background
Key issues in Taylor Law debate include whether to:
- Fine employers who are slow in reaching contract agreements.
- Abolish provision that lets employees get step raises even when there’s no contract in force.
- Ease penalties against striking public workers.
- Do away with teacher tenure.
