S 7846

This bill establishes labor protections for workers at the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant during any transfer, sale, lease, or decommissioning of the facility. It requires that any entity acquiring or involved in decommissioning the plant must pay employees at least the prevailing wage for the locality, maintain the existing workforce through the completion of any ownership transfer (and through decommissioning where practicable), and honor existing collective bargaining agreements. The bill specifically mandates that security personnel be retained throughout the entire decommissioning process until the plant's closure, and requires new hires to be drawn from the pool of current employees when feasible.
