S 6567

This bill establishes labor protections for employees of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant during any transfer, lease, sale, or decommissioning of the facility. It requires that current employees with necessary skill sets be retained by any successor entity and paid prevailing wages for their locality, while also mandating that the New York Department of Labor oversee employment practices and ensure proper worker notifications under existing labor law. Additionally, the bill requires any purchaser of the plant to maintain the current workforce through the conclusion of the purchase and prioritize hiring from the existing employee pool for new positions, unless they can demonstrate to the Department of Labor that current employees lack the required skills. The legislation aims to protect workers' job security and compensation during the transition period as the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant undergoes ownership changes or closure.
