A three-member wage board is holding meetings across the state and will make recommendations regarding the overtime threshold for farm workers in New York.
The board, which consists of New York Farm Bureau President David Fisher, former New York State AFL-CIO President Denis Hughes and Buffalo Urban League President Brenda McDuffie, will hold five meetings across the state. The first was Friday in Albany.
The wage board is part of the Farm Laborers Fair Labor Practices Act that was approved by the state Legislature in 2019 and signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Beginning Jan. 1, the law extends labor rights, such as collective bargaining, to farmworkers.
