NY A10412

Requires labor peace agreements for retail and distribution projects where a public agency has a substantial proprietary interest (as financier, investor, lessor, owner, or provider of financial assistance)

Applies to projects with retail establishments having at least 10 employees or distribution centers with more than 20 employees

Labor peace agreements must be enforceable for a minimum of five years from the date the covered project becomes operational, requiring unions to refrain from strikes, boycotts, work stoppages, and picketing

Public agencies may obtain an exemption if the Labor Commissioner approves a written determination that the project cannot proceed or costs would substantially increase with the labor peace requirement

Contractors failing to include required labor peace provisions will not be considered responsible bidders, and contracts without compliant agreements are deemed invalid and unenforceable
