This is the All Local 4pm update for May 14, 2025

This week, we're covering the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL's) decision to halt enforcement of the Biden-era independent contractor rule, the upcoming EEO-1 reporting season (starting on May 20), and New York State's new labor law amendment, reducing damages for first-time frequency-of-pay violations.­ DOL Halts Enforcement of Independent Contractor Rule The DOL will no longer enforce the Biden-era independent contractor rule, which sought to tighten the criteria under which a hired worker can be considered an independent contractor for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The agency will now revert to the less stringent "economic realities" test. EEO-1 Reporting Begins Soon The proposed 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection season is scheduled to begin on May 20, with a deadline to file by June 24. As expected, Component 2 pay data collection will not be required this year or in the coming years. New York Amends Labor Law to Limit Damages in Frequency-of-Pay Lawsuits New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed into law a budget bill that includes an amendment to the New York Labor Law that dramatically limits the relief employees can seek for first-time violations of frequency-of-pay provisions.  Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw390 Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/subscribe/ Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com This podcast is presented by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.

Reverend Jim Harden is president and CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services in New York. On May 2nd, 2022, an illegal leak took place from the Supreme Court indicating a forthcoming overturn of Roe v. Wade. 6 days later (Mother's Day), Jim Schneider received word that a firebomb had gone off targeting our friends at Wisconsin Family Action. There was significant damage to the offices but thankfully no lives were taken.Part of the damage included vandalism where the following words were spray-painted in black across the building: "If abortions aren't safe, then you aren't either."A group identifying itself as "Jane's Revenge" claimed responsibility for the act and the message. Then on June 7th, 2023, another target was hit. This time it was CompassCare Pregnancy Services in New York. The result was catastrophic damage and firefighters were reportedly injured in attempting to extinguish the blaze. Even though there were other related acts of violence across the nation, and even though the New York perpetrators were caught on video, the FBI claimed they had a difficult time apprehending anyone because the incidents happened at night. That was an interesting response given that they seemed to have no difficulty surrounding the homes of peaceful pro-lifers with guns drawn and taking them captive in front of their children.According to Reverend Harden, the battle continues. They're fighting against New York Attorney General Letitia James, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, big-tech censorship that wants to wipe them off Google Maps so women can't find them, death threats and more.

Mamdani momentum is monumental, but Cuomo remains a steep cliff to climb with time running short. Co-hosts Christina Greer, Katie Honan and Harry Siegel discuss that and much more, including Kathy Hochul's premature “budget deal” proclamation, Eric Adams' “best budget ever” proposal, and Donald Trump's brutal federal spending plan that neither New York leader seems to be taking into account. Plus, Maya Kaufman of Politico New York breaks down the landslide loss for longtime 1199 boss George Gresham in that union's election, and what that could mean for New York politics and the future of organized labor.

On this episode of B.T.G.S. Radio, today's hottest and coolest new music station on Stationhead, host Kathleen Masciana welcomes her former high school technology teacher, Ms. Tina Perretti, to break down New York Governor Kathy Hochul's sweeping new “bell-to-bell” cell phone ban for public schools. The ban, set to start next year, will require all K-12 students to keep smartphones and internet-enabled devices put away for the entire school day-including class, lunch, and study hall-with exceptions only for medical needs, learning disabilities, or translation support. Hochul's goal is to eliminate digital distractions, curb compulsive social media use, and tackle the student mental health crisis, insisting that “we need classrooms where young minds can flourish, and that means eliminating once and for all the digital distractions that steal our kids' attention.” Kathleen, who supports the ban in classrooms for helping students focus, shares her reservations about restricting phones during lunch and study hall-she sees these as free time when students should have more autonomy. She also voices concerns about emergency communication, questioning how quickly kids can reach their families if phones are locked away, a worry echoed by students and critics statewide. Drawing from her own experience as a blind college student, Kathleen describes how her university leaves phone rules to professors; in some classes, she must keep her phone off and her Apple Watch in Schooltime Mode, but she's allowed to use her tablet and braille computer for accessibility, staying in touch with family via WhatsApp. This firsthand perspective highlights both the challenges and workarounds for students with accommodations under strict device policies. As the conversation unfolds, Kathleen and Ms. Tina debate whether it's practical-or even fair-to enforce a total ban during all parts of the school day, and discuss how schools can balance safety, focus, and freedom while ensuring parents can always reach their children. Tune in for a nuanced, real-world look at how the new phone ban could reshape school life, and what it means for students, teachers, and families across New York.

Gov. Kathy Hochul this week announced there's finally a deal on a state budget — albeit a month late. The $254 billion plan includes much more than fiscal policy, also encompassing everything from criminal justice reforms to a school cellphone ban. Meanwhile, the ballot has been set in the June Democratic mayoral primary race with Zohran Mamdani getting top placement. But does the location of a candidate's name on the ballot affect election results? NY1 statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan, investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporter Bobby Cuza break this all down. After that, the “Off Topic” team continues its series of profiles on Democratic mayoral primary candidates. This week, the focus is on Zellnor Myrie, a Brooklyn state senator who's gotten attention as a legislator but is struggling to gain traction in the race.

May 2, 2025 - The medical cannabis industry is leery of language they claim Gov. Kathy Hochul is advancing in the budget that would effectively limit the market for medical marijuana patients.

Connecticut's AG says he needs more money to fund lawsuits against the Trump administration. Plus, nearly one in five Connecticut lawmakers are landlords -- what that could mean for housing policy.

Gov. Kathy Hochul and legislative leaders have reached a general state budget agreement three weeks after the initial deadline.

Note: We are back from parental leave! This episode was originally released August 22nd, 2024. We are re-airing it today in light of New York Governor Kathy Hochul's ongoing push to force a mask ban through New York state budget negotiations, as Artie explains in a brief intro at the top of the episode. Please note that the county-level mask ban discussed in this episode was implemented last year; as we discussed in our episode Covid Year Five, within a week of implementation the law was used to arrest an individual for masking in circumstances that sound like a revival of New York's racist stop and frisk initiative. Original description: Beatrice, Artie and Jules discuss the mask ban passed in Nassau County last week, the latest in a dramatic rise in legislation criminalizing face masks and targeting the Palestine solidarity movement. We look at what happened in the overtly hostile public hearing over the ban, the history of the New York statute that ban proponents want back, and how the threat of mask bans goes far beyond public health: mask bans embolden racist policing; they're anti-trans; and they target the whole of the left.

The Biden administration approved the project in 2023, with construction beginning last year. The interior secretary accused the former administration of “rush[ing] through its approval without sufficient analysis.” He did not provide further details on potential faults identified. “On day one, [President Donald Trump] called for comprehensive reviews of federal wind projects and wind leasing, and at Interior, we are doing our part to make sure these instructions are followed,” Burgum wrote in a follow-up post.   In response to the pause, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said the project had already generated roughly 1,000 “good-paying union jobs” and is contributing to the state's economy. “This fully federally permitted project has already put shovels in the ground before the President's executive orders—it's exactly the type of bipartisan energy solution we should be working on,” Hochul wrote in a statement. “As Governor, I will not allow this federal overreach to stand. I will fight this every step of the way to protect union jobs, affordable energy, and New York's economic future.” According to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, offshore wind farms “can be damaging to fish and other marine species” due to the noise and vibration from both the construction and operation of the wind turbines. Disturbing the sea floor during construction can also “affect plankton in the water column.” Source: zerohedge.com   https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1912952517346070939  According to Apollo, foreigners own a massive $18.5 trillion of US stocks, or 20% of the total US equity market.
